[APPENDIX II]

Simple Reading Schedule

(2 months, 20 minutes a day. Empty your mind, don't try and understand everything; just read the New Testament like a child would. This is arranged for better understanding by letting books build on each other. Best to not go faster; allow it to sink in for a day.)

Use Sundays to catch up on days you could not spend 20 minutes with the Word of God. Never read the Old Testament & New Testament together, two totally different sets of God's laws one for Jews, one for Christians. If you have never read the Bible, always start with the New Testament. The New Testament is what you will be judge by, not the Old Testament.

Notes to Translators of Foreign Language Bibles

This translation is so faithful to the original language in English that it could be used as a medium from which to translate a foreign language New Testament. Many languages of the world have no translation available and many have extremely poor ones.

The Modern Literal Version has been used by missionaries who do not know Greek as a basis for a Bible translation into a foreign language in which there is currently no native tongue translation available. Even though this results in a paraphrase, it is still better, more accurate and a faster way to deliver the Word of God to someone than trying to teach English. In the future we hope that Christians from that country would create their own translation from the original Greek Majority Text.

We can supply you with a list of all the English words which occur in the Modern Literal Version. You type the equivalent 'native' word next to them. We can then computer generate your 'native tongue' translation. You will still need to rearrange English word order (subject verb object) to the native tongue sentence structure.

All that is asked is that you make sure the reader knows this is a translation from the English Modern Literal Version to 'Native Tongue' not directly from the original Greek language.

Greek History During New Testament Times

In the first century, the entire known world was under Roman rule and the universal language was Koine Greek (common Greek). The language became dead two centuries later (nevermore to change). Even though many have tried to make the Greek language 'change' with new theologies, only translation principles have changed.

The New Testament makes mention of three different Judea rulers under Greek authority named Herod. Herod the Great reigned from 39 BC to 4 BC. He expanded the Temple to include the royal family's wing. His son Herod Archelaus from 4 BC to 6 AD. Augustus judged him incompetent and reorganized the territories under the other son, Herod Antipas from 4 BC to 39 AD.

Guards, Sentries, etc. - If a guard lost his prisoner(s) his life was forfeited in exchange (and not a quick death) that is why many guards committed suicide. (Various examples in Acts.)

When you were called back to Rome, you were given the 'suicide' option or be killed.

Jews did not speak to Samarians or women in public (John 4).

Ninth hour is 3:00 PM.

The soldiers were also the police.

Part of a day to the Jews, meant a whole day and night. In modern terms the Bible contradicts itself in Jesus saying he will be buried three days and three nights (Mt 12:40) but not by Jewish thinking or custom. Jesus was buried Friday (Day of Preparation; Day 1). He was in the tomb from 6:00 PM Friday to 6:00 PM Saturday (The Sabbath; Day 2). He arose sometime around dawn Sunday (the first day of the week; Day 3).

Women and Bondservants under Roman rule had the same rights in court. A widow or single woman without close male family was an easy target by just about anyone who wanted to take advantage of her (James 1:27). Lydia and her group was probably like a 'gang' to stay safe in Acts 16.

Modern Literal Version New Testament Bible Accuracy Chart

In order to highlight some of the issues we have found with translation accuracy in various bibles, we have compiled a chart that compares the amount of English words translated from the Greek words. We have picked some of Strong's numbers randomly between 1 & 5624, (using a number generator), and added the worst Greek verb we know (1096). We hope this will illustrate our faithfulness to our own guidelines in making the MLV as literal as possible:

1. To translate the original languages, word for word into English. Then to further boost the accuracy of the MLV, translate the same Greek word into as few different English words as possible. The same with English words- not to use them for different Greek words.

Specifically, we compare the MLV to the KJV and the NASB. This is simply because they are the only bibles that have an easily accessible English to Greek Lexicon and a Greek to English concordance that we need to compile this chart, not because they are "the most" inaccurate. We are in the process of making a similar concordance for the MLV (God willing.)

Modern bibles claim to be accurate, but most do not even italicize, or otherwise highlight, supplied words, (words that are not in the Greek, but are implied by context). The reader should be able to decide for him or herself, whether or not to include the words of man in the Word of God. The reader is unable to do this in any so-called "accurate" bible translation that does not highlight supplied words.

We believe that the translators should translate the Greek into English as literally as possible (within the scope of readability) and should not commentate, indoctrinate, or follow man-made tradition, that is, insert the translator's opinion on what the verse means. For example,

John 3:16:

For^* God so loved^* the world, that he gave his Son, the only begotten, in order that everyone who believes in him might not perish, but may have eternal life. (MLV)

"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. (Holman Christian Study Bible)

The translators of the HCSB made a conditional statement into a 'proof positive' statement by a simple verb tense change and they are not the only ones to have done this (NASB, NIV, etc.).

To keep the chart below simple, only one of the main base words have been kept; not the various tenses or plurals or leading verbs. (For example, BE for all of the: be, is, was, were, and being.)

Comparison Chart of Greek Words to English Renderings

Note: because the MLV concordance is not a finished work we have added a 10% error to the final MLV total.

If you have any other translation information to add to this chart please send it along to the email address below.

Conclusion:

The King James Version uses almost 3 times as many words or phrases for the corresponding Greek words than the Modern Literal Version does and the New American Standard Bible 1995 uses over 4 times as many. As literal as the King James Version was, Jay P. Green Sr. in his revision of the Englishman's Concordance showed the English word 'will' (not future tense) was used for 69 different Greek words. So the Modern Literal Version does meet its claim to be the 'world's most accurate bible translation.'

The MLV is NOT under the control of any denomination or publishing company and is not the current work of any either. Remember the MLV is OPEN TO ALL who have "thus saith the Greek" fixes. Submit them to create an even more accurate MLV. Anyone who wants to help in various others ways is always welcome.

The Modern Literal Version Wording Statistics

(According to Corel Paradox 9/2013; re-edited late 2013.)

http://www.ChristianLibrary.org/bibles/bs (Web search engine for the MLV)

The English language has 450,000 base word of which could be used to translate the 5401 Greek words of which make up the Greek New Testament. About 600 Bible Greek words actually have more than one meaning even after careful consideration of which English word to substitute; the context determines which meaning is used. Of the 5401 different Greek words, 1877 only occur once, 589 are proper names, 1450 are compounds of two words that should be translated the same or very similarly as if the two words were not in compound or contracted form. No language can be treated purely like a math equation but the MLV tried.

The English words used in the Modern Literal Version total 6256 unique words including tenses, plurals, etc.

The following list requires a Greek Interlinear to look up the corresponding Greek word. (H) denotes the word is a Helper word which are used to express tense, mood, direction, intensity, person and such. (WG) is a Word Group, one base word and 1 or more of its compounds. (1,2,3, etc) is just the number of Greek words this English word renders. Ones in BOLD have no Greek counterpart (just Helper words). Even with 450,000 English words, English just doesn't have enough synonyms for everyone of the 5401 Greek words. (Sorry, this list is not finished with all the explanations, i.e. (... ) sections.)

PRONOUNS: he, her, herself, him, himself, his, I, it, its, itself, me, mine, my, myself, one, one's, ones, oneself, our, ours, ourselves, own, same, she, that, their, them, themselves, these, they, thing, things, this, those, we, what, whatever, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose, you, your, yours, yourself, yourselves. (This are helper words and about 3 actual Greek words used commonly as pronouns.)

Note: Any corrections to these words that were missed or you have a fix for the words in the first list above (remember rule 1 in the Preface); please email to MLVbible (at) gmail (dot) com. Improvements are always welcome. The MLV may not be error-free but everyone is trying to make it that.

Other Discussions

Doxology ("glory wording") is a man-made invention to describe those places that are praises to God which basically are nonsense in English, phrases passed down from Tyndale's translation. The MLV started removing these in 2013 after we ourselves noticed they lead to doubt in the weak non-bible reader or teenagers. These are like "blessed be God" "to him be the glory." First we removed all the supplied "be" and followed what Jesus said in Mat. 6:13, the "Model Prayer," & Peter in 1 Peter 4:11 where they use a literal "is" good enough for them, good enough for us. Next all "blessed (an adjective) be God" was translated to "God is gracious" something a youth can understand too. If you wish you can think of these as "God is to be praised," an alternate definition given by some scholars.

BY (and "under") is the literal translation of the Greek word "HYPO" Strong's number 5229. All other "by" are just substitutions because the pure English translation just does not make good sense. Most of the previous ones in the MLV (before our fix of them) were primarily "through" (DIA, Strong's number 1223, now down to 3 in the N.T.) or "from" or "out of" (EK, Strong's number 1537 now down to 6 in the N.T.) or the literal "in" (EN, Strong's number 1722; unknown number are left). Interesting fact from this is "by faith" or "by the faith" was never truly literal (oh well the ThD's will have to adjust).

Traditions and selling bibles. We have removed most traditional words and wording unless they are "thus saith the Greek" words like: angel, devil, Satan, church, saint, baptism, baptize, baptist, blessed, blessing, and bless. We will not be putting them back in; we are not here to serve the god of Money. Please look at any other translation and ask yourself, "Who do they serve?

Talking to Others About the MLV

One of the best ways to describe the "Modern Literal Version" New Testament translation is that it is the first to adopt many significant translation principles:

1. It was the first translation to use the power of modern computers. All the way back in 1987.
2. The first translation that has no contradictions. This is why the MLV was started in the first place because of the Mt 5:17 vs. Eph 2:15 one found in most modern translations.
3. The MLV was the first to attempt to keep Greek uniformity. (Same Greek word translation into the same English word(s) whenever possible.)
4. The MLV was the first and only to attempt to keep English uniformity. In other words keeping one specific English word to represent only one specific Greek word or one of its meanings. (The worst example probably is the word 'will' which is the translation of 69 different Greek words in the KJV.)
5. The MLV was the first bible translation to be open on the internet for anyone to submit corrections, updates or help, since 1998 and the only published translation to stay open with yearly and web updates.
6. The MLV is the first to be done by a group of people not divided among committees. Which by nature one committee will not translate the exact same way as another would. If there is a correction or a specific idiom or such it is dealt with uniformly.
7. The MLV is the first and only translation to ever deal with the word "for", by translating all the "for" conjunctions as "because." You can read more about this in the Appendix.

Other uncommon translation principles that set us apart:

A. You* (plural) vs. You (singular). A lot of teachings are lost due to having no way to distinguish when a crowd of people or an individual were being addressed.
B. No Denominationalism (no particular doctrine given emphasis or watered down).
C. 12-13 year old reading level.

D. All wording is modern-English where possible, all words can be looked up on dictionary.com or in a regular dictionary book.

E. You have the ability to read the New Testament in chronological order; start in Mark and continue.

F. The MLV translates the transliterated words which still plague translations by being repeated over and over because of tradition, for example "Devil" is "The Slanderer" and "angel" is now "messenger" (a serious issue because people didn't know 'messenger' and 'angel' are the same word), etc.

Further Notes

A Greek Lexicon created during the production of the "Modern Literal Version" with a concordance, Greek concordance & analytical Greek concordance with some dictionary like additions is awaiting U.S. copyright so it can be distributed without chance of some publishing company "making it their own." We hope to have the "Koine Greek Textbook" available by 2015. At present the best we could do since we did not have the ability to encrypt the data is the "Modern Literal Version Dictionary & Concordance" 2014 mid year update" available in e-Sword at: http://www.biblesupport.com/e-sword-downloads/file/9954-modern-literal-version-dictionary-and-concordance/ (This has to be used with the current e-Sword version.)

Once the copyright is done, the e-Sword version will have the ability to click almost any word in the MLV and the lexicon, concordance and dictionary sections will appear in the dictionary window. This will be a first NO other translation has ever achieved.

Constantly Changing Verses & Wording Through the Years

Mt 1:1 - (lineage, generation, birth, birth records, genealogy).

Jn 3:16 - (should, may, might).

Acts 2:38 - (*for, into, leading to, leading toward). This is due to the fact no one reads the appendix and those who wish to proof their false believe want to make EIS (Strong's number 1519) 'because of.' No translation has ever used "because of" in Acts 2:38, including the ones made by the Baptist.)

1 Cor 9:26 - (boxing, fighting, warring, battling) & (punching, beating, whipping, slapping at, whipping at)

Eph 2:6 - (robbery, prize, award, seizure).

1 Pet 3:21 (pledge, interrogation).

'Comfort' and 'encourage' are the same Greek word and vary back and forth in verses often.

'Satan' to 'Adversary' and changed back again. (Adversary is the translation of Satan.)

'To' and 'toward' change back and forth; (same Greek wording).

'Out of' and 'from' when from the Greek preposition EK (Strong's number 1537).

To God is the glory, forever & ever.

Amen.
