Why a modern-English public-domain Bible

The World English Bible is a modernization of the American Standard Version (1901) that its editors placed in the public domain, which makes it one of the few modern-English translations that may be freely copied, published and distributed. That combination — readable contemporary English without licensing restrictions — is unusual: most modern translations (NIV, ESV, NASB and others) are copyrighted and cannot be reproduced on a site like this one.

For readers who find "thou" and "saith" a barrier, the WEB is the same Bible in the register of a modern book. For readers who love the KJV, every card here has a toggle — the text is one tap away in either direction.

"Yahweh" and other WEB distinctives

The WEB renders the divine name (the tetragrammaton) as "Yahweh" rather than the KJV's "the LORD" (which stands in for the name). That is why Psalm 23:1 here reads "Yahweh is my shepherd" where the KJV reads "The LORD is my shepherd" — a translation decision, not a different verse. Other visible differences are modern punctuation and quotation marks, and updated pronouns and verb forms throughout.

The noun-and-pronoun differences are worth knowing when comparing the two translations side by side; the underlying passage is the same.

The same daily rhythm as the KJV page

This page and the KJV verse-of-the-day page share one schedule: the same curated pool, the same date mapping, one verse per day, changing at local midnight. Read either page and you are on the same reading plan as every other reader of this site — which is useful for families, small groups or anyone who wants a shared daily text in two translations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the World English Bible?

The World English Bible (WEB) is a modern-English revision of the American Standard Version (1901), edited by Michael Paul Johnson and released into the public domain. Its text can be freely copied and republished without licensing — which is why public-domain-friendly sites use it as their modern-English option alongside the KJV.

Why does WEB say "Yahweh" where the KJV says "the LORD"?

The Hebrew text uses the divine name (YHWH, often vocalized as Yahweh). The KJV follows the long-standing English convention of rendering it as "the LORD" in small capitals; the WEB prints "Yahweh" directly. Psalm 23:1 — "Yahweh is my shepherd" vs. "The LORD is my shepherd" — is the clearest example. It is the same verse in both cases.

Is the verse the same as the KJV page today?

Yes — the same date maps to the same position in the shared 417-verse curated pool on both pages. Today's KJV page and today's WEB page show the same passage in their respective translations, so the two pages can be read side by side as a translation comparison.

Can I copy and republish WEB verses?

Yes. The World English Bible is public domain — its text may be copied, printed, posted and republished freely, including in commercial work, with no license or fee. Attribution to the translation is courteous but not required by the text's public-domain status.
