Green's Literal Version (LitV / KJ3)

Thank You!

Thank you for making this available Robert!  I don't know much about making personal books... which version should I use the first one you posted or the revised one?

Thanks so much, Robert!

Thanks for the Bible and the great cover.

Thanks for converting the Jay Green Literal Bible and providing the Personal Book. Was this the KJ3 2005 version that you converted? It is found here:

Thanks again!

Yes, interesting we have the same last names! Agreed, all of the individual files are the older Literal Bible which you converted. In the upper left is the newer KJ3 pdf. What all is involved in converting the KJ3 file into a personal book?  

One of my aunts traced our genealogy and we are of Thomas Warren who arrived in Jamestown in 1632 from England. Perhaps we have a common ancestor?

Thanks for the insight! Not impossible, but tedious. I will give it some more thought. Perhaps if you were willing to share your work (Excel, Word docs) for the Literal Translation it could be adapted to import the KJ3 into a Personal Book?

I have relatives in AL and MS. So, maybe we are cousins! 

I have the full version of Adobe. Perhaps the conversion to MS Word might work better? Where did find the individual book PDFs? If they are downloadable, then I will convert one and let you know if it provides the distinction from the test.

Robert and others,

I happened upon this page and wanted to thank you guys for sharing with me the link me to the updated KJ3 text from Mr. Green.  This text seems so beautiful to me! 

Seeing this thread, I wanted to help out with Hal’s request to create a Personal Book format of the Mr. Green’s updated 2005 KJ3 version.  I have a different “hammer” than you Robert (Linux pdftotext / sed / awk / MS Word VBA) and my process is partially automated and partially manual.

However, I don’t have a paid subscription to the Logos software and can’t seem to access the “Personal Book” utility tools menu from my Logos account.  So, I can’t test to see if the resultant book formatting works or not.  I’ve attached my attempt to extract the book of Genesis from the KJ3 PDF.  Please provide me with some criticism before I venture into extracting all the other text (e.g., what I need to add or remove or reformat, etc). 

Please see my questions below:

• I’ve not included the chapter notes and page titles (see images below).  Should these be added?  If so, what is the formatting for these items to be properly linked with the Logos SW?

• I saw that you had a number “####.Alt – Green’s LitV Bible.docx” for your Personal Book documents.  How did you generate this number?  What number should I use as well?  Should the title be as follows: “#### - Green’s KJ3 Bible.docx”? (I think I see that uploading it to the forum gives a default number...)
• The text includes a history / testimony of the author and a statement from the publisher (pgs 1-9).  Should I just skip these or include them in the document?  Where should I include the copyright information of this text (see image below)?

• I have seen a few “mistakes” in the text (e.g., no Genesis 50:24).  I want thinking of creating a full text version of the text, doing an “editorial pass” or rather read the entire Bible once, to double check Mr. Green’s text and my automated / manual conversion process’ ability to reproduce his text.  Should I (A) provide you guys with the first draft of the Bible, or (B) after like 6 months or more of study, provide you guys with the “edited” version?

Forgive me for the length of this post.  Just want to get some expectations before I start seriously working.  Let me know your thoughts.

Welcome

Logos & Verbum desktop apps include Personal Book Tool for free:

Thanks for reversing my foolish assumption that freeloaders like myself can not access the desktop app and that the online app would have the same interface.  I can now test out my own results.  Thanks!

For Linux, following thread => Linux version of Logos Bible Software may be helpful.

Thanks for the link but I have a Windows machine with a Linux VM that I'm working on so the default app download work just fine for me.

Anyone else willing to answer a few of my feedback questions as well?  Or I can also take constructive criticism in the form of "please don't waste your time" or any other to the point comments.  Let me know!

Robert,

Thank you for the reply!  I'm sorry to hear about your vision impairment issues.  In Jesus' name, may the Lord heal your eyes, so that you can continue to do this kind of work for His kingdom! 

And thank you for giving me a simplified explanation of how to set my expectations.  I'm an engineer by trade, so getting the "customer's requirements" is more of my approach before starting a work.  Sorry if I came on too heavy...  Anyway, trying to get a sense of your words, I think I will "give it my best shot" and then maybe post a second version if I notice any mistakes later on.  I myself do not use the Personal Books platform but wanted to provide this for you guys as a type of "thank you" for helping me to find the KJ3 version that I was looking for.

I will soon (maybe a month or so) post my initial version of the KJ3 text here on this forum according to the style that I have done for the book of Genesis and then maybe post another version if I find simple edits (from organization errors in Mr. Green's document or my own extraction SW's errors), I will then post another version at a later date.

God bless you guys!  And may He bless all you set your hands to (Deu 28:8)!

Keep Smiling 4 Jesus , thanks for the recommendation for the Search and Replace from Fr Devin Rosa.  I totally used the mess out of that regex like replacement feature in Microsoft Word to transform XML tagged data into Logos Personal Books style headers and text styles.

When I initially said it would take me "...maybe a month or so" I didn't know it would take more like 3.5 months...  I need to keep to the 3x multiplier for all of my ambitious time estimates.  Anyway, please see the attached initial version of the Mr. Green's KJ3 bible.

I have tried my best to find as many errors (both in my program's text conversion and Mr. Green's own textual errors) as I could before posting this version.  I will (hopefully to give a more realistic time table, in a year or so) read through the text and post a revised version with a document denoting all of the found errors (indicating any assumed errors in Mr. Green's pdf documents).  Please feel free to post here on the forum if you find any obvious errors.  Thanks guys and God bless you all!

Hi Stephen,

I've been looking for the latest KJ3 version, and it looks like your file is it.

I'm planning to develop a couple of Android apps around the KJ3 and would like to give you credit for your work on this, as well as to anyone else who contributed.

The app will be free, without advertisements and will not require an Internet connection.

I really appreciate your work on this and want to keep Jay Green's work alive. It's appalling to think that this translation might die due to lack of support.

Yours in Christ,

John Little

Hey John,

Which bible translations do you recommend, and briefly, why?

Appreciate any help, blessings brother,

Tim
