My favorite Bible translation is the MEV or the Modern English Version Bible. Although, there are so many Bible translations out there. How do you choose the right one? I actually have several different translations. I have a King James Version, New King James Version, an NIV Study Bible and a Bible app on my phone and I use them all.
However, the MEV is the most modern English translation of the Bible printed in the last 30 years. It combines the beaty of the King James Version with modern day language and I love it.
More important, many translations actually have whole scripture verses missing that were originally in the King James Version. When I found out about this, I wanted to find a good translation that still had all the relevant scriptures in it.
(You can click HERE for a list of the Scripture’s not in the NIV and other modern translations.)
As I started to do my research, that’s when I came across the MEV Bible’s.
HISTORY OF THE MEV BIBLE
The MEV Bible is a literal (Word-for-Word) translation using the KJV of the Bible as the base manuscript and with references to God capitalized.
According to BibleGateway.com,
“the intent was to translate historical facts and events without distortion while translating in a way that readers of all backgrounds may understand the message that the original authors were communicating to the original audience. Every effort was made to ensure that no cultural or theological agenda was allowed to distort the translation.”

BibleGateway.com also said,
“The goal was to translate Scripture accurately without loss, change, compromise, embellishments, or distortions of the meaning of the original text.”
