Happy New Year everyone!

     2024 was a terrible year for me, with many health setbacks and other problems, leading to the loss of many work days and missed workouts. It fittingly ended with a bout with Covid (hence why I’m a bit late with this post). Here’s praying 2025 is a better year for me and a good one for the reader.

Merry Christmas everyone! Remember the Reason for the Season:

             ⁸And shepherds were in the same region staying in the fields and watching over their flock [during the] watches of the night. ⁹And look! An angel of [the] Lord stood over them, and [the] glory of [the] Lord shone around them, and they feared a great fear. ¹⁰And the angel said to them, “Stop being afraid! For listen! I bring to you* the Gospel [or, Good News] of great joy, which will be to all the people. ¹¹Because a Savior was born to you* today in the city of David, who is Christ [the] Lord! ¹²And this [will be] the sign to you*: You* will find a Baby having been wrapped in long strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.”

         ¹³And suddenly [there] was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army [or, host], praising God, and saying, ¹⁴“Glory to God in [the] highest, and peace on earth, goodwill among people!” (Luke 2:8-14; ALT3c).

ALT3c Mistake

     I have no idea how, but the final paragraph (last two verses) of the Book of Jude was omitted in all formats in the latest update of my “Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament of the Holy Bible” specifically, the “Third Edition (corrected)” (ALT3c). I have corrected the text for all formats of ALT3c on Amazon and Lulu. But if you already purchased the volume, the omitted text is as follows:

             ²⁴Now to the One being able to keep them from stumbling and to make [you*] stand in the presence of His glory unblemished [or, blameless], with great happiness—²⁵to [the] only wise God our Savior, [be] glory and majesty, dominion and authority, both now and to all the ages! [fig., forevermore!] So be it!

     For ordering details for this fully updated and now corrected volume, see: the Preview page.

ALT3c Now Available!

Analytical-Literal Translation of the New Testament: Third Edition” (corrected) (ALT3c)

    ALT3c provides a translation of all of the New Testament that will enable the English reader to come as close to the Greek texts as possible without having to be proficient in Greek. The name of ALT3c reflects this purpose.

    “Literal” refers to the fact that ALT3c is a word for word translation. “Analytical” refers to the detailed “analysis” done on the grammar of the text and to study aids within the text. “Translation” refers to the conversion of the original Greek text into English. Modern-day English is used, and despite its literalness, ALT3c is relatively easy to read and understand.

     Many updates have been made for this new version, so much so it could have been called Edition 3.5. But for publication purposes, it was easier to just call it a corrected text, hence ALT3c.

     Available in a variety of hardcopy and eBook formats. See also this series on Amazon.
