Bible International Version: A Free Modern English Translation
Bible International Version, also known as the World English Bible (WEB), is a free and updated revision of the American Standard VersionIt is a modern-English translation of the entire Bible, making it one of the few English-language Bibles custom translated to be understood by most English-speakers worldwide. The WEB eliminates the need for data-processing based or computer operating system-specific internationalizations.
The World English Bible project started in 1997 with the goal of producing a modern English Bible version that is not copyrighted, does not use archaic English like the King James Version, and is not translated in Basic English like the Bible In Basic English. The translation philosophy of the WEB is based on the 1901 American Standard Version, the Greek Majority Text, and the Hebrew Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. It also takes into account alternate readings from the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint. The WEB includes the Apocryphal books as well, providing a comprehensive reading experience.
With its commitment to accessibility and accuracy, Bible International Version is a valuable resource for anyone seeking a modern English translation of the Bible.
