About This Book

The translation presents the New Testament rendered from the original Greek into clear, literal English, aiming to aid unlearned readers by preserving Greek word order, participles, and explicit wording while substituting more forceful modern expressions where helpful. A long preface explains the translator’s method, scholarly consultations, and the choice to prefer paragraph divisions over verse breaks; marginal verse references and occasional footnotes support comparison. The text includes all canonical books of the New Testament arranged in conventional order, striving for exactness, intelligibility, and fidelity to the perceived intent of the original, with the translator recommending prayerful reading and inviting critical correction.
