Hello,
I just found this interesting bible. I often use YLT or KJV and the MEV is interesting addition because it is written in modern English (to me it is better because I am not native English speaker). Is there chance we could get this as theWord module?

The Word is not printed bible, so maybe could be a change to have it there?

Military Bible Association have a website, but I was not going to contact them because they wanted my phone number. I do not live in USA. I am from Europe.
But I look for free bible because I just don't have money for this payed addons. In fact I wanted a text file to make some comparison* between YLT and KJV, so if I do not have the txt, it is useless for me. As I am trying my best with Delphi to make such comparison program.
Note: * - The idea is to find some major differences, which is a bit complicated task, not suitable for theWord. But the result could be useful for me after I see the results.

Re: MEV bible addon?
Does your code compare between verses? Or how does it work? I've worked with comparing code so I am curious

Re: MEV bible addon?
You need to use https://ebible.org/study/ or biblewebapp/study for comparison of versions. But MEV does not exist in them. There are many better and free options for modern english like WEB, NHEB all based on the ASV text revisions, free. You can compare them to KJV. But, if you are trying to study the bible and learn translations, I suggest you to learn Greek and read books about these things from reputable latest authors, rather than comparing outdated bible versions and consulting interlinears without knowledge of translation.Radim wrote: ↑Sat Jan 21, 2023 11:25 pm All information I have is here

Re: MEV bible addon?
The current English Version claims to be a clear, reverent, and accurate translation of the Bible into current English. It frequently succeeds in obtaining formal correspondencmini crossworde while being readable. The MEV's purpose of maintaining close to the wording of the King James Version occasionally results in a verse that does not sound totally current, but this is rare.

Re: MEV bible addon?
If someone wants to work on the MEV using TotheWord (TTW) they are welcome to. There are examples in the Examples>Bibles in TTW.

Re: MEV bible addon?
Outdated bible versions? What do you mean? The greek or hebrew/aramaic text, you call outdated? Or do you speak about bible translations?Jacob11 wrote: ↑Sat Apr 29, 2023 12:15 pmYou need to use https://ebible.org/study/ or biblewebapp/study for comparison of versions.

Currently I love NIV version.
Re: MEV bible addon?
I meant the KJV, by outdated. Don't stick with MEV if you dont have it, there are free and better versions like ESV, NHEB, WEB. ESV has been based on the critical text; and NHEB/WEB on the byzantine text type version, perhaps close to the Revised Version.
