New Living Translation updated in 2013

Again, the Bible Versions Discussions/Dialogue group is my source for new announcements. It sounds like this announcement first showed up on the New Leaven blog. In 2013, Tyndale made around 500 changes to the New Living Translation text. A list of the changes is available in a PDF. You will find a link for the PDF in the comments to the New Leaven blog entry. As an example, John 3:16 was changed from this (2007 text):
For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
to this in the 2013 edition:
For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
A footnote offers the alternate reading: "Or For God loved the world so much that he gave."
