[quote:Anonymous Coward 26315221:MV8yMzI3OTU1XzM5NzE2NDM4Xzg2QTk5QjJE] Ephesians chapter 2 King James Version [quote:KJV] 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. [/quote] Modern English Version http://modernenglishversion.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ephesians-free.pdf [quote: MEV] 1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 In which you formerly walked according to the age of this world and according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 Among them we all also once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and we were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 And He raised us up and seated us together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 So that in the coming ages He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, 9 Not of works, so that no one should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, so that we should walk in them. One in Christ 11 Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called the “uncircumcision” by the so-called “circumcision” in the flesh by human hands, 12 Were at that time apart from Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who were formerly far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He is our peace, who has made both groups one and has broken down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 By abolishing in His flesh the enmity, that is the law of the commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus making peace, 16 And that He might reconcile both to God into one body through the cross, thereby slaying the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. 19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but are fellow-citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 Having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 In whom the entire building, tightly framed together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 In whom you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God through the Spirit.

I'm happy someone has actually produced a new translation based on the Byzantine Text tradition rather than the regurgitated Westcott and Hort Nestle Aland Critical Text. I wish they used the Majority Text instead of the TR. This new MEV translation seems to be identical to the NKJV (my fave translation). Wonder if this is just going to be another KJV revision that everyone forgets about. The NKJV is the only KJV revision that stuck around and had a real impact in the market, can't see this supplanting it. Though it does seem to have a little more backing behind it than other KJV revision attempts except for the NKJV. Will probably get a copy of this just for the sake of it being a rare modern translation that isn't CT and it being literal rather than dynamic equivalence.

I'm quite excited!
I must admit I have not had a chance to read through any other translation much. I guess I'll start doing this.

There is a translation of the original Mattithyah (Matthew), Hebrew Matthew out or coming out done by Michael Rood, I know of 2 proper corrections that are not in any other text (greek or others translations that were translated off hebrew version but greekized, made to match the greek text)
