I'd recommend the NIV. If you put "RSV" or "NIV" after your quote, your audience will know what you mean.

The archaic forms "thee, thou, thy and thine" were the more informal terms at the time, used for friends and meant to show the closeness to God that Christians enjoy. "You and your" were formal and have gradually replaced the older terms, perhaps as a result of the boom in newspaper reading of the steam age. They are still commonly used in Yorkshire, sometimes corrupted to "dee" and "daa", especially in the Barnsley area.
