Look out, I'm about to start a fight on nostr. NABRE is the best bible
😅
What about the WEB? That's my next one, since it's a public-domain version of American Standard Bible, right?
I like the NABRE since it is includes relatively new translations (the 80s I think) so includes notes comparing the dead sea scrolls with other manuscripts. Plus the old testament is straight Hebrew to english, rather than Hebrew to Greek or Latin to English like in a lot of other editions. Plus it has the catholic set of books. Just my 2 sats
Playing it safe and going with whatever Project Gutenberg is using. No idea.
That file seemed to be messed up. Went with a different one, from Cambridge.
I would like to recommend AndBible: Bible Study to you. It is a powerful, yet easy to use, offline Bible study application for Android.
Install it from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.bible.android.activity

Their KJV bible is good
The problem is avoiding translations or commentary that are under copyright. Most KJV can't legally be copied.
"1769 Oxford Edition (Blayney Revision): Public domain -- Standardized spelling and grammar changes. Most KJV copies in use today are based on this edition."
Maybe I should do that one, next. Almost done with the Cambridge Edition.
The Cambridge edition is a "paragraph" bible, which is also out of copyright.
Yes, I'm probably just going to use superscript for the verse numbers.
Got Genesis formatted. Had to think about how I wanted the end result to look, but I'm happy with it.
I uploaded them all, but tried out some experimental relays and they got eaten. 🙈😂
I'll upload them again, tonight.
New American Standard Version 1995 is the one I recommend as it's done the most to hew closely to the original greek
