Description
"Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Colossians" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a Bible translation published in 1903. This version renders the New Testament book of Colossians into nineteenth-century English, aiming to express how the original writers might have communicated these events in contemporary language. Based on Weymouth's compilation of major Greek texts, the translation was prepared for publication after his death by his secretary, Reverend Ernest Hampden-Cook, intended as a concise running commentary alongside traditional versions.
