Of course you don't evaluate Scripture when you are done reading through it, the way you can do with other books. But you can evaluate translations. My base translation is the KJV, but I frequently alternate with other versions for my regular reading. This read smoothly, and was not unlike the KJV.

I finished reading this over a week ago. I have been pondering what I wanted to say here about my experience. I bought a self contained, soft-cover copy of the New Testament. It seemed surprisingly small to me. It’s only 404 pages. The book is only about 3/8ths of an inch thick. Contained within those four hundred plus pages is the testimony of the men who walked and talked with the Savior of the World. They bear their witness of His mortal life and His divine mission.
Within these pages’ one finds passages of scripture that are known and quoted throughout the Christian world. When you come across these passages, you can pretty much quote them to yourself without reading them. It was like re-reading a much loved favorite piece of fiction and remembering why that particular book is so cherished by you. In this case, the added fact that the Holy Spirit bears its subtle and quiet witness that these words and these events are true makes this experience a truly inspiring occasion in my life and adds further oil to my spiritual lamp.

I started in Corinthians and ended in Romans.
The book was a little confusing at times… but other than that it was exceptional.
(spoilers) Jesus died then he rose again. What a plot twist!! (Assuming you didn’t read the prequel called the New Testament, if you did it wasn’t that exciting)

One of my favorite scriptures in the New Testament is in Romans 8, starting with verse 31: "What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?...Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things are we more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our Lord." These verses, to me, encapsulate the beautiful and comforting message of the entire New Testament.
I believe with all my heart that the things written in the New Testament are true, that the accounts of Christ and his followers truly did happen. I will forever be thankful for the life, example, and Atonement of my Savior, Jesus Christ.

Such a treat to re-read the New Testament this year; to focus on the life and teachings of the Savior and to rediscover many great writings of the Apostles.

I have a long time goal of reading all major religious works. For many years I have been stuck in the Old Testament. I have now given up on that one. (I don’t want to start any wars, so I won’t tell you why, but maybe it rhythms on snoring).
Reading the New Testament is much more interesting.... at least the gospels were. Although very repetitive. I don’t understand what Mark/Markus is there at all. It is a shorter version of Matthew/Matthæus. Like someone lazy wrote off from the first gospel.
I am surprised have many common saying are actually from here. I disagree with the concept of blind faith that the Christian church asks today. But that is not what is in the New Testament: Jesus delivers a long string of evidence. Faith then is something very different from today.
Also interesting to read with The Art of War in mind. Leave the enemy a way of retreat or they will fight to death. Jesus did not leave his accusers with any way of retreat. Maybe because he did not want them to.
Besides the four gospels the book is about Paulus. He is mentioned 381 times in the second half of the book (compare to Jesus 220 times). The numbers are just the result of a text search. Who is mentioned in the chapter titles. Paulus! Thirteen time! (compare to Jesus zero). Who is the main character for most pages: Paulus. I am not at all convinced by Paulus. He tells the sailors how so sail a ship. Then comes a storm and he does not loose a moment to remind them “what did I say?!” It becomes ridiculous when he has a battle with Jesus about who can cure disease with the least effort. People touched Jesus prayer rug (a thing he holds, and actively uses), while Paulus cures people when they touched clothes he once used.
I had expectations too high for this book, and no book benefits from that. Many people have called it the best book with some awesome stories. But the long stretch between the gospels and the revelation, well,... maybe it rhythms on snoring too.
And the revelation? That was just weird. The most pleasant surprise was probably the dragon. Did not expect a dragon just there.

I gave it a 5-star rating... what else could I give it. I listened to the audiobook of the new testament because when I was 12 years old my Dad told me and my brother that if we read the entire New Testament then he'd give us $100. My brother, Daniel, did it a while ago (maybe when I was 14) and I just did it as well. Overall, it was a great read and I learned a lot from it. But the main 3 enjoyments that I got from it were 1) getting to see the verses from which hymns have been made that I have sung before, 2) getting to see all of the hypocrisies of different sects of Christianity like how it says in Matthew that you shouldn't call anyone but God, Father and how it says that praying something to God that you don't mean is like taking his name in vain (i.e. - sinning). I think that the Catholic church has it the most wrong. And 3) I enjoyed overall knowing that I have listened to the New Testament and getting bragging rights.
Final thought, I like how it said in Revelation 22:19 that if anyone alters the scripture they basically won't spend eternity in the kingdom. This is interesting to me because it is a reminder that God wouldn't let a very common translation of the Bible be crazily incorrect because that would mean that millions of people would be reading the wrong scripture and it is in his power to not allow that to happen.

A very useful text. Basically you have *most* words that occur 30 times or less in the apparatus beneath the text. The author also defines some more common words that take an unusual form or unusual meaning. There is an appendix in the back for words that occur more than 30 times.
The editor does a pretty good job. Frequently he also defines idioms that occurs - though not always.
This is an ideal text for a late second year.
There are some irksome features of the text. First, many times the editor will define a word at the beginning of the paragraph and then assume that you need no more prompting. If you are jumping into the text, this can be a little jarring. Second, sometimes the editor defines unusual forms of very common irregular verbs. Third, some idioms are not defined at all no matter how often they occur.
Of course, this text isn't supposed to do all the thinking for you, but I hope that in a later edition they can work on including more idioms and being more consistent.

The beautiful history of the birth, life and teachings, as well as the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as the history of his apostles. I have read this multiple times, but it always touches my heart and strengthens my faith in my Savior.
January 18, 2024
Finally finished The New Testament! I loved the testimonies of the apostles. Some of the Epistles were hard to understand as was Revelations, but I still enjoyed all the metaphors and imagery of Revelations. Jesus is our Savior! He loves us infinitely. I can't wait for His return. Merry Christmas!
December 31, 2015
I have read from The New Testament my entire life, but this was my first time reading it cover to cover. I particularly enjoyed the Four Gospels and reading more about Christ's life and ministry.
December 17, 2023
This has been my best experience reading the New Testament - maybe because I listened to the Follow Him podcast in tandem. Grateful for the Lord Jesus Christ.
January 15, 2020
As a Christian, I love the Gospels, but a lot of Paul's words are a real slog.

I didn't read the Old Testament this year, but I did slip in the New Testament. I usually get it done before Christmas, but this time I finished it right on New Year's Eve. I (sort of) feel like I cheated because I had to get the last 40 pages done via audio - there is something wrong with my eye and I can't read right now - but I actually enjoyed the book on a different level, just laying there with my eyes closed and listening. I have a hard time with Paul. He confuses he. So next time I read the New Testament, I think I'll pick a different translation. And maybe still read it side by side with the KJV. I don't know. It's hard to let go of the KJV because I do really love it, but we'll see.

From the opening lines of Matthew to the final words of Revelation, the New Testament is a testament to the power of faith, the resilience of the human spirit, and the transformational power of love. With its rich and complex cast of characters, from the lowly shepherds and fishermen to the powerful Pharisees and Roman rulers, the New Testament weaves a tapestry of human experience that is both deeply personal and profoundly universal.
At the heart of the New Testament is the story of Jesus of Nazareth, a man who embodied the perfect fusion of divine and human qualities. From his miraculous birth to his tragic death and triumphant resurrection, Jesus is the embodiment of love and compassion, mercy and grace, justice and forgiveness. His teachings and miracles continue to inspire countless millions of people across the world today, and his message of love and redemption remains as relevant and urgent as ever.
Throughout the New Testament, we also encounter a host of other fascinating characters, each with their own unique struggles and triumphs. There is Mary, the mother of Jesus, whose unwavering faith and courage inspire us all. There is Peter, the impulsive disciple who denies Jesus three times but ultimately becomes the rock upon which the church is built. And there is Paul, the former persecutor of Christians who is converted on the road to Damascus and goes on to become one of the most prolific and influential writers in the New Testament.
But the New Testament is also a story of conflict, as the message of Jesus challenges the established religious and political order of his time. The Pharisees and the Sadducees, the ruling elites of ancient Judea, are threatened by Jesus' teachings of love and inclusion, and ultimately conspire to have him crucified. But his death is not the end, as his resurrection marks the dawn of a new era of hope and salvation.
In the final book of the New Testament, Revelation, we are given a glimpse of the ultimate triumph of good over evil. The vision of John, the apostle, reveals a cosmic battle between the forces of light and darkness, culminating in the triumph of the Lamb of God and the establishment of a new heaven and earth.
In all its beauty and complexity, the New Testament is a masterpiece of literature and theology, a testament to the enduring power of faith and the human spirit. May its message of love and redemption continue to inspire us all, and may we all strive to embody the qualities of its greatest hero, Jesus of Nazareth.

I have been a Christian all my life but have only read/studied the bible in bits and pieces. It was time to finally read all 27 Books of the New Testament! It is quite an ordeal when read in the ancient English Kings James Version. I also understand now why it is read and studied in selected sections since the basic message is repeated often throughout the first 26 Books. Revelations, the 27th and final Book is an exciting and confusing conclusion open to interpretation.
The often repeated message is simple and summed up in Chapter 12 of the Book of Romans:
• Don’t conform to the world. Renew your mind so you know what is good and acceptable and perfect.
• Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought to think.
• Rule with diligence.
• Show mercy with cheerfulness.
• Love without deceit.
• Abhor what is evil: Strive to that which is good.
• Be kind and affectionate one to another with brotherly love.
• Do not be lazy or slothful in business.
• Be fervent in spirit.
• Rejoice in hope and be patient in tribulation.
• Be hospitable.
• Bless them that persecute you.
• Rejoice with those that rejoice and weep with those that weep.
• Be of the same mind toward one another.
• Don’t dwell on high things, but condescend to men of low estate.
• Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
• Recompense to no man evil for evil.
• Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
• Live peaceably with all men.
• If your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him drink: for in so doing you heap coals of fire on his head. (picturesque)
• Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
• You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet.
• Most importantly, You shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
So there you have it in a nut shell. How many of today’s ills would be healed by these simple directions? Why do so many fight to keep this advice out of our public lives? Divinely inspired or common sense, what difference does it make?

2012 Loved it! So many nuggets of wisdom and guidance that I needed to reread (and will reread again!)
I accepted a challenge from a friend this year (2018) to read the Bible by the end of the year and just finished. It was good to remember all of the things that were told to people all throughout time to bless and benefit them and to help them to return to live with Heavenly Father again.
I think it's easy for us to say, "Why didn't they just listen to Moses? All they had to do was keep the commandments and they wouldn't have had to wander the desert for 40 years!" But it's harder for us to examine ourselves and whether we are doing all that we need to do to not be 'wandering in the desert'.
I was surprised nearly daily how the Old and New Testament reading I did was often about the same things. Scriptures are for us to read and to learn from.

I don't often review religious texts, but I have been making a concerted effort in the past year to finish the scripture books I begin. I appreciate focused study, but the consistency of reading cover to cover has meant a lot lately. This is why I started "The New Testament" as we began the Come Follow Me study program.
It's harder for me to listen to The New Testament than The Book of Mormon, but I'm glad to have revisited the four Gospels again. Their nuanced descriptions of the Savior's life are profound. I also appreciate the examples of Peter and Paul, and my heart broke again hearing Stephen's story.
It's amazing what daily scripture study can do.
Happy reading--

"Wherefore murmur ye, because that ye shall receive more of my word? Know ye not that the testimony of two nations is a witness unto you that I am God, that I remember one nation like unto another? Wherefore, I speak the same words unto one nation like unto another. And when the two nations shall run together the testimony of the two nations shall run together also." (2 Nephi 29:8 Book of Mormon)
I am so grateful for the word of God in both the Bible and the Book of Mormon. These books truly testify of Jesus Christ!

This is Scripture. The first part contains the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Each of these apostles relates their account of the life of Jesus Christ. Following the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ the remainder of the New Testament includes the acts of the apostles. Much of it is Paul's letters to the various congregations to which he traveled and preached. I know this is true. I love reading it. I have read it many times.
I have included the dates I've read the NT since 1991 when I started keeping records.

This is my third time reading the New Testament in its entirety. Last year I read the Old Testament and then this year the New Testament again. They both teach us about God, his commandments, and the covenant of becoming His. The New Testament is so much more hopeful. I love the teachings of Jesus Christ and His ministry! There are still parts I don’t clearly understand (half of Revelations), but overall there is so much inspiration and guidance to be found in the Bible, especially the New Testament! 5 stars!

The American Standard Version has the reputation of being one of the most accurate English translations ever produced. I am so glad I listened to it. The Bible is the book of books, the inspired word of God.
I offer these few comments about this reading. The reader reads too fast, in my opinion. Also, there are several questionable pronunciations. But I appreciate the effort he put forth to do this reading.

I studied the N.T. this year in church and have a new found love and appreciate for this book, and for the Savior who is, of course, the main subject. There are so many reminders of how to live a good, purposeful life. I have filled its margins and pages with highlights and notes, starred favorite passages, and included quotes as well. I will be turning to its pages often. It reaffirms my belief that through Jesus Christ, there can be peace in my life today and every day.

Without the jealous, vengeful God of the Old Testament, the Bible is actually a pretty good read: even if I don’t necessarily believe a word of it to be literally true. The narrative isn’t broken up by people constantly begatting others, and actually does carry a pretty decent moral message: do unto others as you would want done to you. It’s just a shame people that believe this book to be the literal truth keep harking back to the Old Testament to justify their actions

How do you review the new testament? How do i group in Luke’s gentle inclusivity with paul’s letters and John’s dramatic expansive visions?
Thought provoking, inspiring and at times infuriating.
I am grateful for every day i studied and read and listened to commentary and searched and discussed and compared thoughts.
That much time thinking and reading about Jesus and the times He lived in were a blessing.

Praise the Lord! How wonderful is Your word! It is so amazing to have the holy word opened by through the footnotes. The Bible has never been more clear than ever through the explanation of New Testament: Recovery Version. I'm so grateful how this translation connects verses from the OT and NT, investigates the words strictly based on the original texts, and strives for the believers' actual experiences instead of simply objective historical facts.

first time reading again since becoming latterday saint. i read it as part of a challenge to read the standard works. i was really impressed this time with the writings of paul. understanding the anchient church through the lens of the restored church really made quite a difference in the meaning of some of the verses.
