Here is a rare
additional service:
The World English Bible (WEB),
taken from http://www.ebible.org/web/
|
The World English Bible is a Modern English update
of the American Standard
Version of 1901, by ebible.org. Questions
concerning copyright: Because this translation is in the
Public Domain, you have permission to use, to publish, copy, and
distribute the World English Bible as much as you want to in any form (spoken,
written, paper, electronic, etc.) - without paying any royalties
at all, or even asking permission - in contrary to most other Bible
texts. But You can not claim an exclusive copyright for You. You are asked to update your copy
that you publish periodically until the World English Bible editing is done, as
a courtesy to your readers (and not as a requirement). If you make any changes
to the text of the World English Bible, we do ask that you not call it the World
English Bible any more, to avoid confusion, unless you get specific permission
from http://ebible.org to do so.
The translation and review is currently in progress, so You may check back from
time to time for updates. If you find any typos or have any comments on this
translation, please send email to  .
The World English Bible may also be found on other www
sites, such as the named http://www.ebible.org, the Biblical Prophecy Resource
Center and Biola University's
site, and here Ways-of-Christ.net
.
This site ways-of-christ.net is not
responsible for this text version: it is
not identical with our own short bible quotes in our webpages. The WEB
Bible texts of our site were last updated by their editor 19 - August - 2008, -
they were still the newest ones 1 - January 2009.

The Old Testament
Another
version with frames (navigation bar)
The 5 books of Moses -- the Law
History
Wisdom literature
The Prophets
The Apocrypha /
Deuterocanonical Books
These books provide historical background
helpful for understanding the Old and New Testaments, and some information
found in the Greek Septuagint but not found in the traditional Hebrew
manuscripts of the Old Testament.
The New Testament
The life of Jesus and the Early Church
Letters from the Apostle Paul
General Letters from Apostles and Prophets
Prophecy - messages from God for the present and
the future
Since the World English Bible is still a work in
progress, the numbers after
the book names indicate the approximate status of each book:
*1*: Automated
conversion from the ASV of 1901
completed: no quotation marks, and some of the
grammar is still archaic.
*2*: In the process of its first manual revision.
*3*: First manual revision completed.
*4* - *6*: Proofreading &
accuracy check in progress.
*7* or no number given: "Done" (but not frozen) and stable enough to
commit to print
(but please tell us if you find a
typo or translational issue anyway, and we will make well-justified
corrections).
Note: every verse in the above Bible books are marked with anchors,
so that you can link straight to any verse. The anchors are of the form
C1V1 (but replace the numbers with the actual chapter and verse), so
for example, to load John with chapter 3, verse 16 at the top
of the page, use the URL John.htm#C3V16 (or http://eBible.org/web/John.htm#C3V16
).
Look for the meanings of words like cubit, selah,
and denarius
in the Glossary.
These words are not common Modern English, but are necessary to preserve the
historical and literary form of the Holy Bible.

On the index
with frames You find a simple year-long reading plan. Ways of Christ
proposes, to study for instance a Gospel in the Biblical sequence, and working
on a chapter until You feel better with it. We do not suggest to mix parts of
the Old and New Testament.
For study we recommend a printed copy. A
bound, printed copy of the New Testament plus Psalms and Proverbs of the
World English Bible is available. This will be easier than
reading the texts in the Internet.
If You want to get daily Bible readings from the World
English Bible emailed to you, subscribe
to the Bible mailing list of ebible.org.
(If You like short daily mottos from the Bible, You may
find an inspired selection of passages in the booklet "Texts for the
day" (Moravian Church, POB 1245, Bethlehem, PA 18016), possibly available
in Your book store.)
Here You may
get a window for searching the Bible for pages containing Your words.
From the begin of the pages You can then find the place(s) with Your browser,
which has usually a function "edit / search".
