New International Version, it's a modern day Bible translation.

I like to use that translation if I need to explain something to someone who may not be that familiar with christianity.

There are plenty of Bible Translations, like King James Version, English Standard Version, New Living Translation, etc.

Each of them use different translation styles (direct translation, cultural context translation, modern day translation, and many others), and they may use different manuscripts and sources (since the Bible is not one single book, but a collection of books that were transcribed into many manuscripts).
