The Father's New Testament is a precise translation of the Holy Scriptures from ancient Greek. It is a revision of the 1560 Geneva Bible, using the Textus Receptus, to preserve its integrity and improve readability, employing the 1611 King James as the benchmark of a diligent work.
For decades, scholars have referred to the American Standard Version as the "Rock of Biblical Honesty," and have held convictions that "interest in it should be renewed and increased, with the chief inducement being its recognized value which deserves and demands perpetuation."
Like our ASV predecessors, the RASV is resolutely committed to the Formal Equivalence translation philosophy, and has endeavored to handle the English text with both deference and reserve, intending this standard ought merely to be refreshed, rather than revised, or replaced.
Changes made to the ASV within the limited scope of the refreshing of the English text include archaic personal pronouns (i.e. thee, thou, thine, thy, thyself, ye), archaic verb terminations (i.e. -est, -st, -th), and antiquated vocabulary, spelling, and grammar resulting from semantic shift.

The Plain English Version (PEV) is an English translation of the Bible designed for Indigenous Australians whose mother tongue is an Aboriginal language. Several books have been published in printed form by the Bible League under the name ‘Simplified English Version’ and can be found on their website in the Indigenous Australians category. A PEV mini-Bible with most of the New Testament and portions from Genesis and 1 & 2 Samuel will be printed in 2020. You can download soft copies below of all that has already been translated.
Written in modern English, I am God the Son is a paraphrase of the Scriptures, based on the Gospels, that is different than anything you have ever read before. Not only does it offer different aspects of the key events from the life of God the Son on the earth from the perspect of Christ himself, but it also invites readers into action through specifically directed callouts.
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words.
Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
The Good News Of Messiah is a fresh Messianic rendition of the New Testament scriptures and rightly corrects many of the errors and faults in traditional translations. Conflicting passages and texts are corrected using definitions only found in standard Lexicons, thereby harmonising both Old and New Testaments.
