Plain Word Translation puts its Bible word choices on the page
A free English Bible translation pairs its text with examples of how Hebrew and Greek words are rendered across passages.
- For
- Bible readers comparing translations and source-language choices
- Worth noticing
- The homepage traces προσκυνέω across three passages, rendering it differently in context rather than using one English word throughout.
Field notes
The homepage presents translation decisions alongside source-language examples rather than leaving the method in a separate statement of intent. Its sample compares προσκυνέω across three passages and shows a distinction between “worshipped” and “bowed before”; it also gives a brief explanation of the Greek phrase in John 1:1. The project reports 1,218 verses re-examined and revised, and lists source-text and morphology licenses alongside its public-domain dedication.
