May 7, 2022** Update
The update was to fix mainly to a few sentence fragments and a few run-on sentences, nothing doctrinal. 1 word change listed under 'Lie, lying, lay, laid' in the Definitions Section. 1 other word change 'continued' to 'continually' now in all occurrences in the N.T. Many of the 'the' words were marked as supplied, again nothing doctrinal.
Simple Reading Schedule
This is a simple reading schedule designed to be followed for 20 minutes a day over a 2-month period. Empty your mind. Read God's Word like a child would for the first time. Never read it with preconceived ideas or thoughts or to prove something! Remember to pray. Don't try to understand everything. Note what you don't understand and move on. Reread those notes later and they may make more sense. This arrangement is for better understanding by letting books build on each other. It is arranged roughly in chronological order. Use Sundays to catch up on days you could not spend 20 minutes with the Word of God. If you have never read the Bible, always start with the New Testament. The New Testament is what you will be judged by, not the Old Testament. It is not wise to read the Old Testament and New Testament together; the O.T. Jewish Law maybe confused with N.T. teachings. Spend the first Monday reading the Preface and other non-bible sections to familiarize yourself with the MLV's style of translation.
The Modern Literal Versions strongest feature is its consistency in translating the original Greek word into the same English word(s) every time and not using the same English word for multiple Greek words, so you should read the Modern Literal Version once all the way through and do not use any other translation during this time to gain knowledge from this uniformity. Then you too will understand why so many of the emails to us are `I have learned so much just reading the MLV once,' or similar.

Definitions TOC
* Asterisks are used for denoting words listed in the `Definitions' section below. These are for the few instances where the English translation does not lend itself to a satisfactory meaning of the underlying Greek word. In addition, we use an asterisk to denote the difference between one English word that is being used for two different Greek words (for example, see Age* below.) This substantially aids word studies and concordance look ups.
? Degree signs are used to denote plural you? and commands where a plural subject is not clearly stated (imperative 2nd person plural most often).
- Hyphens are used in those places where two English words come from a single Greek word. It is of particular benefit to Bible students who wish to cross-reference words to the MLV concordance and Greek lexicon.
Italicized words are words not found directly in the Greek but implied by the context, needed to help show action, tense or expansion of the meaning of words that the literal English does not convey, remove the possible appearance of a contradiction, etc.
Since the MLV is literal, not `thought-for-thought,' supplied words are of significant assistance for those phrases which are exceptionally difficult to read. By pointing out these words using italics, the reader has the option to disregard them.
A, An (indefinite articles) are always supplied words in English but not marked with italics in the text. Age* is Strong's Dictionary number 2244 (hereafter, we will abbreviate as G2244 for electronic and book uniformity). It is used in very much the same way we think of a person's `age.' The other `age, ages' without the *, is for a period of time. This `age' is also translated as `world' 22 times. Context determines which word should be used. Admonish means to `instruct with warning' G3560.
