hi,
I don't know if this is worthy challenge.

Can someone help me.

1) I need to obtain text of NIV bible in Word document.
Preferably One Book, One Word document.

2) I need to obtain text of NASB bible in Word document.
Preferably One Book, One Word document.

3) I need help preparing KJV bible to Word document.
Preferably One Book, One Word document.

I will post results of KJV vs. NIV bible comparsion, the whole bible in similar manner (see --> blog).

Advantage:
1) Instead of spending hours proof-reading NIV bible, this immediately shows what changed against KJV bible.

Every tittle (now called punctuation marks) every word changed.

NIV and NASB are copyrighted (people claiming ownership of what they are claiming is God's word) so it would be technically illegal to copy the text unless the new copy is created with permission of the copyright owners.

I'll be the first person to be prosecuted for putting the merge of KJV vs. NIV, KJV vs. NASB online. :amen:

Please don't take this the wrong way, but the fear of prosecution should not be the drive on this one.

If I may be so bold as to suggest that you purchase a licensed copy of these in the format that you wish to use, and make sure that you are able to use it for this sort of purpose? :wink

The KJV had a crown copyright on it to protect the text - it is not the same as the copyrights companies have today to indicate they are the owners of the text.


That was my understanding too - to preserve the integrity of the text, not to profit from it. :wink

I would like to just take issue with teh use of peer review. I think that you are not using that term by its definition. Not even close.

I highly doubt there are word docs of those, though, I think you can copy and paste from e-sword. For that matter, e-sword has a pretty good comparison feature built in. Just use that.

Wouldn't it be wiser to do a comparison of the manuscripts? It's not fair to put up a translation from one set of manuscripts against a translation from another set of manuscripts. If you want to do a valid comparison, you should do the KJV, NKJV, MKJV, KJV21, Bishop's Bible, and Geneva Bible which are all from the same text line.

Will, the point is the English books claiming to be "The Bible." It has nothing to do with the texts they arose from, simply the end result of the confusion they cause in English. We have debated the Textual issue to no end, but when it's all said and done, we speak English, so it's in English that the differences are important.

Will, I take slight issue with your premise of same text lines.

The NKJV (at least) was 'revised' with use of the non-TR texts.

It was supposed to be a simple revision, but they went a little further than that.

I do see your broad point though.

Go to e-sword at http://www.e-sword.net/bibles.html and you can download these versions for 20 dollars or less.
