Timeless King James Update New Testament

Post by WordForever »

If you just can't seem to bring yourself to read much of your preferred bible version(s), and yet your spirit is willing; may I humbly suggest that you try reading 1 or 2 chapters of the Timeless King James Update New Testament each morning (or another bible which very tightly approximates the King James Version in meaning when you comprehensively compare it verse-by-verse in bible software)? Or maybe you have read the KJV in the past, and you perceived the words had distinct power [e.g., please consider reading Psalms 90-100 (KJV) to get a taste of that power]; but getting over the KJV Elizabethan/Early Modern English hurdle has hindered you from regularly reading the KJV as your default bible version?
If either case above resonates with your spirit, and you have not yet heard of the Timeless King James Update (TKJU), you might be interested in the description for it out on theword-modules.com (reprinted here):
"The Timeless King James Update (TKJU) New Testament is an English-dialect update to the King James Authorized Version; intended as a complementary reading, studying, & teaching aid to those reluctant to acclimate to Elizabethan/Early Modern English. The TKJU aims to communicate God's Word in more familiar and readable language, while also striving to maintain an uncommon degree of KJV meaning accuracy. Through integrity, the TKJU strives to retain much of the King James Authorized Version's unparalleled power; subject to an iterative refinement process over time. If you consistently read and internalize the King James Authorized Version (or to a little lesser degree the complementary TKJU), and have received God's promise in Ephesians 2:8-9, you shall gain stability, strength, security, and surety in your life, and in the life to come."
** If you would like to check out the TKJU NT v0.8 in theWord (Windows), please follow these 7 steps:
1) Select "Install modules..." from theWord "File" menu
2) Press "Download file from URL..." button
3) Right-click the hyperlink & select Copy link (address) here: https://theword-modules.com/download/45 ... tkjuNT.ntx
4) Paste (via Ctrl+v keyboard shortcut) into theWord URL pop-up window - Press OK button
5) Press "Install selected modules..." button
6) Press "Yes" button (to restart theWord)
7) If there are two TkjuNT bible tabs, manually delete the down-level "tkju...ntx" file(s) from C:\ProgramData\The Word\Bibles
** Or download a .PDF file of the v0.8 TKJU NT here: https://theword-modules.com/english/the ... testament/

Version 0.8 of the Timeless King James Update (TKJU) New Testament is now available for download; and the forum post above has been updated to reflect all the related details. Note that v0.8 of the .PDF file fixes a conversion issue where certain words with formatting tags were previously missing (this only affected the older .PDF files, and did not affect any of the bible software files). Otherwise, the v0.8 changes consist of polishing edits made between Romans 9 and 1Cor 11.
