The simplest way to read the documents is to select the PDF editions where available. For the Old Testament / Tanakh, the Hebrew is in HTML/Unicode and should render well on a modern computer. For the New Testament, there is an all-in-one document in HTML/Unicode which should render well on a modern computer (derived from the native font file). The files are all less than 2.5 MB in size unless otherwise indicated. For more details, see the notes below.

A few technical points to note in connection with New Testament files
- The PDF files have rendered quite well, but some table rows break across pages. (This is because the css page-break-inside: avoid property is not supported in the author's best browser for printing).
- To view the DOCX files, you need to install the GGTEphesian and GGTAmos2 fonts. To view native-font NT HTML files, you need to install the GGTEphesian font. These fonts are obtainable from our .
- To view the HTML, Firefox or Google's Chrome and Internet Explorer v.9 are fine - but not Internet Explorer v.8 - it does not handle our fonts properly, though you will still be able to read the English.
A few more technical points
- If you want to save the HTML of the translation on your computer, don't forget to save the in the same directory as well.

If you want to make your own printout with larger text, edit this in the style sheet (e.g. to 110%):
@media print{ body { font-size:75%; } }
- If you want to make your own PDF from the HTML, we suggest using PDFCreator and to print from Firefox.
- If you print these translations, please be aware that they are subject to change and correction, as reviews are made. In order for you to see changes that have been made between versions, and mark them up, we suggest you save the HTML of the version you download, (even if you are using the pdf), and use a differencing tool such as ExamDiff (free) or ExamDiffPro (not free) from Prestosoft.
