THE MATTHEW BIBLE: THE GOOD AND THE BAD
This is an important development in Reformation Bibles; however, due to certain constraints, it has some problems. John Doerr explains them.

It's definitely a minefield.
I will just add in another comment instead of editing to clear up my original comment. The 1611 is still my go to Bible, but what I meant was that I really like reading Tyndale's older translations including his New Testament. There are more than a few places that Tyndale's original phrasing is more straight forward to me than how the 1611AV words it. Many times the 1611 will shorten phrasing and even omit some words. Ephesians 6:12 is one example that comes to mind. The "worldly rulers of darkness" sure sounds like a group I know of!
To know if words have been omitted or added, one must read the original Hebrew and Greek. That can be very time consuming.
Thanks to John for this video. Please express my deepest gratitude for his work.
Shall do.
I still just can't help but enjoy Tyndale's version. That man was unmistakenly guided by the Holy Spirit.
