I guess the King James Version because I love old English, even though it is a bit hard to follow.

I guess the King James Version because I love old English

Not to nitpick, but the KJV is not written in Old English.  Old English would not be intelligible to any present-day English speakers.  The coolest (secular) aspect of the KJV is how its publication in 1611 was actually a major catalyst in standardizing modern English spelling and grammar.  

Ofc, Old English was spoken before the Norman Conquest; it's our equivalent of Latin basically.

It's true that the KJV standardized Early Modern English to a large degree; but he meant old simply in the sense archaic, and I do agree. I think the English of 400 years ago had something to it.

I am well aware of that, which is why I wrote "old" with a small O, to signal I was using the common qualifying meaning of the word. I maybe should have used "ancient" or "archaic" to clarify. I obviously couldn't read Old English (capital O) in any way whatsoever.

Thank you @Lechasseur for recognizing what I was signifying.

Same, but it's an incredibly cool ancient language nevertheless. I prefer it to Latin myself.
