    Is anyone familiar with a Moffatt translation, or perhaps scriptural notes or something he authored? I keep running across the Moffatt 'translation' of certain scriptures like this one today:

    Phillipians 1:20 - My eager desire and hope being that I may never feel ashamed, but that now as ever I may do honour to Christ in my own person by fearless courage.

    To me, that is a very interesting take - thus my aroused interest.

    Similarly, the "R.V." translation, which I assume means an early 'revised version' of the KJV as it seems to closely follow it.

    Thanks, and Godspeed to everyone in the new year.

    Not a problem, IveyLeaguer! Glad to be of some assistance!

    BTW, you mentioned the RV in your OP. Have you found an online version by any chance? I have been looking for an online RV for years, but all I have ever found is the ASV and many of the later versions. Of course there are web sites which offer many of the pre-KJV versions (Geneva, Bishops' etc.) but I would really like to find the RV online.

    No, I haven't found an online version but would love to. Let's be sure to post it here if we find one.

    There is a tool that will import certain online Bibles into an e-Sword module and the R.V. should be patent-free. That's what I would really like, an R.V. module for e-Sword.

    I don't care for different versions just to have them but I like having the serious translations - you know how sometimes just the slight difference in wording stimulates a deeper look into the scripture even though it is saying the same thing. And the R.V. quotes I've seen have sometimes been that way.

    Thanks again!
