The Holy Bible: Revised Common Version (New Testament)

The Revised Common Version (RCV) is a derivative work of Noah Webster's 1833 Common Version of the Bible (a revision of the King James Version). As with Webster's Common Version, the RCV aims to make updates to words and phrases so that they are better understood by the everyday reader who may not read the scriptures with the aid of commentaries. Care has been taken so that changes to the text are not theologically motivated, but rather are consistent with the original text. Changes include the updating of archaic words to the current equivalent, rearranging of sentences to better follow current English, adjusting of punctuation to aid the reader in the flow of reading, and addition of quotation marks. This is the Second Edition of the print version of the RCV New Testament. This edition includes a spelling correction in Matthew 26, a capitalization fix in Acts 7, punctuation revisions in Ephesians 1, and revisions to the front matter. 20% of all royalties go to the charity, Childcare Worldwide. This RCV New Testament is formatted with 11 point font. The full text of the RCV can be read and downloaded at http://www.revisedcommonversion.com.
