Why is it so hard to sit down and read my Bible? If you have asked yourself that question, you aren't alone. Through the years, many features have been added to the text of the New Testament to make study and reference more efficient, such as chapter and verse divisions, footnotes, and indexes. This new version of the New Testament aims to reacquaint us with the early format of these Holy Writings. Without the distractions of verse and chapter divisions, reading longer passages of the Bible is easy and enjoyable. Reading Acts is like reading a novel! And great pains were taken to preserve/recreate the tone and style of the original author. From book to book, the vocabulary changes. The length of sentences and the use of transition words between them change. Luke sounds polished and sophisticated; Peter is more common; John is simple but abstract. In the pages of The Word, you will get to know each of the New Testament authors as they give their eyewitness accounts of the gospel and early church!

Do you sometimes find it hard to stay engaged in reading your Bible? Or maybe you struggle to know what the Bible is saying or even which part to read?

The Lifegate English New Testament is an essentially literal translation of the Greek New Testament, based primarily on the Majority Text, with regard to modern biblical scholarship. As a guiding principle for this work, the words in each verse of the Lifegate text must have their basis in the original Greek text. Lifegate has been created to provide its readers with a version of the New Testament that uses common English wording to convey the meaning of the original Greek text, without adding to, subtracting from, or changing the text, so that the original meaning is conveyed in contemporary English clearly. This version can be easily read and understood by a speaker of 21st century American English. It was written to avoid using outdated words and phrases or confusing word order that might puzzle a contemporary reader. Although the verses are worded in a simple, straightforward style, every effort has been made to retain the literary beauty and rich meaning of the original.

The Good News of Messiah is a fresh translation of the New Testament from the original Greek, with careful attention to Hebrew influences on the Greek text. For example, instead of the traditional English John, the GNM renders the text Yohanan, and likewise most other names of Hebrew origin. Key theological words are also rendered with Hebrew in mind, yet without betraying the meaning of the Greek. And this feature underlies the truly revolutionary nature of this version. So for this reason the author has made sure that the renderings of Greek words do not stray outside of the permitted ranges of meaning given in the Greek Lexicons or from sound rules of linguistics and word derivation. So for example, translations typically rendered faith in other versions are consistently rendered faithfulness in the GNM, in accord with the sense of the Hebrew equivalent EMUNAH. Yet the definition faithfulness for PISTIS does occur in the Greek Dictionaries. Words that have been traditionally and unnecessarily cast into ecclesiastical forms have been put into ordinary forms. So for example, instead of Church, assembly, and instead of apostle, emissary. The Good News of Messiah includes unparalleled work on Greek tenses, including restoration of the controversial Greek perfect as a progressive tense. Also the Good News of Messiah is given a solid historic context in the previous chronology work of the author. While having a high respect for tradition and good scholarship, the author is not ruled by any school of thought, denomination, or ideology. For this reason, the author seeks to demonstrate everything based on good linguistic science, historical research, and sound reasoning. The author is well schooled in historic theological controversies. The commentary notes provide answers to all of them. Throughout the Good News of Messiah are various essays and charts, including a complete translation of Isaiah 53 from the Hebrew, a chart of the passion, a chart of the Seventy Weeks, and a concordance of key words.
