“Jesus speaks politely!”
Adopting a translation that uses honorifics for the first time in the world in the official language of Jesus written to the public, to give greater grace to the Word.

-Existing Bible
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt has lost its saltiness, how can its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
-Easy to Read Bible

Features of the Easy Bible
1) Introduction to each volume
Before reading the Bible text, we first provide an introduction to each of the 66 books of the Bible so that you can get an overview of the book at a glance.
2) Subheadings of the text
To help readers understand the content of each Bible passage, appropriate subheadings were given according to the flow of the context.
3) Main text
This is the Bible text in easy-to-understand language that can be understood as you read.
4) The last Bible verse on that page
When looking at an open page, the top left page shows the first Bible verse on that page, and the top right page shows the last Bible verse on that page.
5) Paragraph mark
Paragraph marks were placed at appropriate places in the Bible text according to the flow.
6) Word Explanation
The Easy Bible is a very easy-to-understand translation of the Bible, but even so, when difficult words are used due to biblical grammar, the meaning of those words is kindly explained.
3.
Features of translation
The Easy-Language Bible has been translated very faithfully according to these revision guidelines, resulting in a new, more refined and advanced translation than existing modern-language Bibles.
So, if we look at it, the Easy Bible is an excellent translation of the Bible with the following features and advantages.
- First, it is an 'easy' translation that anyone can understand immediately upon reading it.
That is because we have easily corrected and written in easy-to-understand Korean all the difficult terms, obsolete words that are no longer in use today, and very old archaic words from the existing Revised Korean Bible.
Additionally, all spelling errors have been corrected to conform to today's revised Korean spelling rules, and punctuation has been properly used to ensure readability.
- Second, it is an 'accurate' translation based on the original text and annotations.
This is because it was translated based on the Hebrew Bible of the Old Testament and the Greek Bible of the New Testament, and at the same time, it was translated with reference to about ten authoritative evangelical commentaries.
- Third, it is a ‘friendly’ translation with correct commentary.
In the case of difficult sentences, rather than translating the original text literally, we translated it in a friendly way that preserves the original meaning of the original text.
- Fourth, it is a ‘literary’ translation that preserves rhythm and flow.
Originally, many parts of the Bible were written in literary forms such as songs, poems, and proverbs, so the translation faithfully followed the flow of the context and preserved the rhyme and rhythm as much as possible.
- Fifth, it is a ‘vivid’ translation that is full of life and breath.
This is because, rather than translating it literally and rigidly without any emotion, the translation was done by taking into account the context of the text at the time as much as possible and inserting onomatopoeia and mimetic words appropriately.
2) Translation principles
The Bible, the true word of God, was translated without omission from the original Hebrew and Greek texts, but was expressed in simple Korean as much as possible, in accordance with Korean grammar, without any difficult translation styles, so that anyone can read and understand it easily.
So, rather than doing a literal translation of each word of the original text, I sometimes did a free translation that 'extended' the original meaning of the text to the fullest extent possible.
In addition, we have provided an accurate translation by referring to various evangelical commentaries, and have provided a friendly translation with appropriate commentary.
In addition, we made a literary translation that took advantage of rhythm and flow, and inserted onomatopoeia and mimetic words appropriately to make the translation vivid and lively.
3) Original translation
- Old Testament: The Hebrew Bible BHS (Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, 1987), which was compiled based on the Leningrad Codex, a manuscript of the entire Old Testament written in 1008 AD, is the oldest extant Old Testament manuscript.
- New Testament: The Greek New Testament, Novum Testamentum Graece, published in 1993 by the United Bible Societies, was used as the original text, and the NIV, published in 1984, widely used in the English-speaking world today, was also referenced.
