This	lesser-used Bible translation is	well worth a look

THE NEW ENGLISH TRANSLATION
(NET BIBLE)

Bible.org. Various formats and prices.

There is no end of Bible translations, but this one is worth a look. It advertises itself as the newest complete translation of the Bible into English, but it’s not really that new.

A team of scholars with connections to Dallas Theological Seminary got together in 1995 to produce a totally new translation that would be freely available online (hence the NET Bible). Every working draft was made publicly available for comment on the internet, leading to the claim that ‘no other translation is so openly accountable to the worldwide church or has been so thoroughly vetted’.
