Read the 2001 Translation an American English Bible.

 You will find the 2001 Translation – an American English Bible to be unique in many ways, because the translators didn’t follow established convention by employing traditional (and often misleading) old English words. Yet, this Bible is very accurate. It may in fact be the most accurate translation* available at the time of this writing. To ensure such accuracy, this Bible will remain a work in progress, as we constantly strive to improve the wording. Suggestions are welcome.
