Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 1 John

by Richard Francis Weymouth

"Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, 1 John" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a biblical translation published in 1903. This version renders the New Testament into nineteenth-century English, based on Weymouth's compilation of readings from multiple Greek text editions. Weymouth aimed to discover how the inspired writers would have expressed themselves if writing in contemporary English. The translation was prepared for publication after Weymouth's death by Reverend Ernest Hampden-Cook, serving as a companion commentary to existing versions.
