unfoldingWord Simplified Text

An open-licensed translation, intended to provide a ‘functional’ understanding of the Bible. It increases the translator’s understanding of the text by translating theological terms as descriptive phrases.

The unfoldingWord Simplified Text is intended to be used together with the unfoldingWord Literal Text to provide a more robust view of both the form and function of the original texts.
