Why another translation?

Download The MLV for single computer and non-commercial use:  RTF format

Please send corrections as you find them, don't send tons of them at once, this will keep down duplications. Thanks in advance. It only takes about an hour now to update the Modern Literal to the Web so it will be updated at least once a week.  Email the Editors

1. Old English constructions like "hear we" where we say "we hear."
2. Bad English construction like "object, subject, verb." To rearrange sentences of the Modern Literal to read "subject, verb, object or indirect object" does no harm to the Greek or the Word of God.  If it reads "choppy" then you should point out how you believe it should read.  All comments are checked against the Greek to make sure the correction is allowed.  THE ABSOLUTE BEST WAY is to print the chapters of the MLV and read them, correct them like they are "Term papers" that you are about to turn into you English teacher for a grade.
3. Old English words like "pangs, reins, etc." 
4. General typos like "teh" for "the" "an" for "a" etc.

Greek Proofreaders:

1. If you see a Greek word that is inconsistency in its renderings in the MLV please check a Greek concordance before sending a recommendation of how the Greek word should be changed. Please include the Strong's Reference number because transliterations schemes are very different sometimes.
2. Read the Greek Majority Text (Maurice Roberson's or Hodges and Farstand) and then read the MLV; if you see something that is not correct please note the original and the recommended change. 
3. Check known problems in translations in general. The following have been fixed already. Acts 11:26, Mt. 16:19, Mt. 28:1, and many others.

Note: The copyright on this translation is to stop tampering and people from using the work of Christians for "profit." Under the right conditions this translation will be free to all Software or Book publishers.

 I have done nothing to help with translating or editing the Modern Literal Version of the New Testament, but I'd like to see it printed and be able to use it in my teaching.  The Secretary of the New Testament Committee answered my question that it would take $12,000 to get a first edition published.  My wife and I are ready to help. We'd like to find eleven other couples (or congregations or businesses or groups) who would contribute $1,000 each to get this magnificently accurate translation in people's hands.
