The Modern Literal Version is a free, word-for-word New Testament translated from the Byzantine Greek text, so that any reader can check the translation against the Greek for themselves. No one in this project is making money, so you can read here what others refuse to print, including the 'one of a kind' 8 English and Greek Textbooks (printed copies are sold at cost).
