One of the most outstanding features of the NEW LIFE Text is the copyrighted vocabulary. No difficult words are used in the text except proper names and places. Words like propitiation found in other translation are broken down into meaningful phrases (paid for our sins with His own blood). It has the quality of a built-in dictionary. The following examples show how the vocabulary is the key to its readability .
