Biker Version Bible

Today's final new version: The Biker Version Bible. The website introduces this work:
Don't waste your time with those counterfeit "Biker Bibles" that slap motorcycles on the cover & hide some old traditional text inside. This is the REAL DEAL, the ORIGINAL & FIRST EVER BIKER VERSION BIBLE that doesn't pull punches or soften the message. We've stripped the ancient words down to the frame and rebuilt them with even more passion than you put into your own machine. The Biker Version Bible (BVB) rolls out in straight-up biker style, speaking the language of the road and laying down God's truth as raw as the asphalt beneath your wheels.
Samples are availabe of James and Proverbs. James 1:1 -
Yo, I’m James, a road warrior for the King—serving Jesus Christ, the true leader of the pack. To all my brothers and sisters riding the highways of life, scattered across the world—keep the throttle steady, and listen up!

The Apostles Teaching: A Chronological New Covenant

Another New Testament version: The Apostles Teaching: A Chronological New Covenant

The description from the Amazon page:

The Apostles Teaching: A Chronological New Covenant is a modernized original translation of the Textus Receptus Greek with composite authority given to the earliest recorded church witnesses from the 2nd and third century, as well as from documented internal evidence to compose what can reasonably believed to be, an unfolding account of the founding doctrines of the New Covenant, beginning with preaching of Peter at Jerusalem, and ending with that of John at Ephesus.

This work is meant to give a modern Christian reader insight into what a first century believer might have received as the earliest written apostolic account of the life, ministry, and teaching of Jesus Christ, the Acts of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and the unfolding testimony of the New Covenant, corresponding with the historical events that most shaped the early Church in its first decades.

The New Charismatic Bible: The New Testament

Another new version today: The New Charismatic Bible: The New Testament The description from the Amazon page:
The New Charismatic New Testament is a literal translation of the Christian New Testament, but it is a translation informed by Charismatic understanding. Many Bible translators, though extremely competent, simply do not have the spiritual and charismatic experiences necessary to correctly and literally translate many words and expressions which are found in the New Testament. This translation attempts to bridge that gap, so that those who have come from a Spirit-filled perspective may see the many ways that their understanding and their experiences of faith are validated in the New Testament Scriptures.

Restoring the Voice of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John

Here is a new version of the Gospels: Restoring the Voice of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The description from the Amazon page:
Experience the Gospels in a way that is both accessible to everyday readers and faithful to the original Koine Greek. This unfiltered, literal English translation and transcription of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John preserves the grammatical precision, respectful tone, and polite discourse characteristic of the first century — elements often altered or lost in modern translations. Whether you are a curious reader, a devout Christian seeking a deeper connection, or a scholar or pastor longing for an unfiltered encounter with Scripture, this translation offers clarity, accuracy, and a fresh perspective. Key Features:
  • A literal, word-for-word rendering that minimizes interpretive alteration
  • Preservation of third-person imperatives, subjunctive, and optative moods to retain original tone and intent
  • Emphasis on the respectful, polite discourse of the time, conveying not just what Jesus said, but how He said it
  • Based on the Nestle-Aland 28th Edition, with Majority Text variants thoughtfully included

Brain Training Bible

B.B. sent me this unusual adaptation of the King James New Testament. It is the Brain Training Bible - King James Version. It is adapted by scrambling the words. For example: “For God so levod the wrlod, taht he gvae his olny bron Son, taht wehveor bleveies in him shloud not perish, but hvae enetarl lfie” (John 3:16).
