Does this edition suit you?
The BGT makes the language accessible; the reading routes help you choose where to start. Those are two different tools. This collection is not the complete Bible in Ordinary Language: for missing Old Testament parts you need a complete BGT. Place a passage next to the NBV21 beginner's edition to discover which text you can follow independently.
Features of this version
