• Questions about Bible translations

  The other tool I use a lot is Xiphos, which works natively on Linux and is available from the software repo for my Linux distro (Ubuntu). It isn't as powerful as theWord, but it also has a nice and large module repository and is quite comfortable to use for me. Source: about 1 year ago

  Xiphos is a Bible study tool written for Linux, UNIX, and Windows using GTK, offering a rich and featureful environment for reading, study, and research using modules from The SWORD Project and elsewhere. It is open-source software, and available free-of-charge to all. Software can be found at: https://xiphos.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• What’s an underrated translation of the Bible?

  Note that there's also the "KJVAE (King James Version, American Edition)", that one's different.

Note that those work on Windows - if you're on a Mac, Eloquent should work - I've never used it, but it looks nice. And if you're a Linux user, Xiphos should have you covered.

• I am looking for a Bible which is a literal translation (preferably NASB1995, but I'm open to suggestions) and has good footnotes regarding textual variation. Any suggestions?

  The only downside to this approach is that, while theWord is free, the NASB module is somewhat pricey. However, there's so many other translations in there for free, so you should be able to find something to fit your needs. If you're looking for a free NASB, you can use Xiphos. The NASB is in the "Lockman Foundation" module repository. That way, you can put Xiphos on one side of the screen, put theWord on the... Source: about 2 years ago

  Lol I was not being on topic or constructive - just repeating the meme that rust is synonymous with "blazing fast", because of endless statements to the effect of "rust is blazing fast," or "if you want blazing fast code, use rust," or the endless blazing fast rust libraries: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=blazing+fast+rust Now I'm not an expert in either rust or go.

  There's fraud and embezzlement in non-profits all the time.
