      The Easy Study Bible - Trennis Killian

      The Easy Study Bible translation, is the result of my twenty-six years in the Gospel Ministry, and from being a high school English teacher before that.

      Many times over my early years as a pastor, I would grow frustrated in my efforts to teach the Bible for understanding to church members who didn't understand the basics of Hebrew and Greek. True, some passages jump out at anyone reading them, no matter which translation they use. My goal has always been that all who read the Bible would not only understand it the way God intended for them to, but also to be able to apply each truth to their lives. That, I think, takes greater understanding.

      When I began teaching a Pastor's Sunday School Class in the early 1990s, I searched for a way to help my class understand better. I felt this was important since the class started out as a New Members Class. Too many new Christians become frustrated at their first attempts to study the Bible.

      Well, the answer came to me from my English teacher background. Do you remember when you had to diagram sentences in your English classes? Please don't run away screaming yet! I know. They were usually painful experiences. I felt the same way when I was a student.

      If you can get past the painful memories, please think about the finished product. Once you diagramed a long complicated sentence, it became much more clear to you. You could understand what was modifying what, and what the action was and what or who was causing it. In other words, it made the sentence much more understandable.

      That is what I began to do with the Bible passages we studied in that class. I took the principles of the sentence diagram and adjusted it to fit verses of the Bible. Immediately, the whole class began to gain a better understanding of each passage we studied.

      Over the years since then, I have used this method constantly, not only in small group studies, but also in church Bible studies with great success.

      One benefit that I didn't expect is that this method helps tremendously in sermon preparation. When I begin to prepare a sermon, I take the focal passage and diagram it. This allows me to see how the verses naturally (the way I think God intended) fall into separate thoughts. Many times, this process will give me all the points of the outline without trying to make the passage say what it does not say.

      Now, let's look at this project. Do we need another translation of the Bible? In a word, No!

      I have long admired the Wycliffe Bible Translators whose goal is to translate the Bible into every language of the world so all will have the opportunity to read God's message to them. I've also admired the Gideons International whose goal is to place a Bible in every hand in the world.

      My goal is a combination of the goals of the Wycliffe Bible Translators and the Gideons International. I want to take God's word and make it easier for everyone to read and understand.

      Now, here is why we need a new translation of the Bible. Simply put, the major Bible publishers do not seem to be interested in a Bible version which is diagramed. Therefore, to avoid infringing on any existing copyrights, I had to start with my own translation.

      You will find The Easy Study Bible translation to be as close to literal as possible while still preserving proper English grammatical structure. This is important to me. I find that many of the modern translations, especially ones that are more literal, are clumsy at best and grammatically inaccurate at worst.

      James Free!

      In order to give everyone an opportunity to sample the Easy Study Bible before purchasing it, the book of James will be available in E-Book version free. It will be available on my webpage, and other online distributors.

      The book of James will soon be included in a new release, which will also contain 1 Peter and 2 Peter.

      I want to hear from you as you use the Easy Study Bible translation. If you have suggestions, corrections, or any comments, please email me at trennis@trenniskillian.com.

      How to Use the Easy Study Bible

      You may read the Easy Study Bible it the same way you would any other Bible. Each of the releases will have a paragraph version in the back of the book.

      The Easy Study Bible is most effective when used as a study tool. This is where the structure of the diagram allows for better understanding of each passage that you study.

      I will use James 4:7-8 to illustrate how to do several of the actions that were mentioned in the introduction.

      ⁷ Therefore,

      submit to God.

      Resist the devil,

      and he will flee from you.

      ⁸ Draw near to God

      and He will draw near to you.

      Cleanse your hands,

      sinners,

      and purify your hearts

      you double-minded.

      First, if I were writing a sermon on this passage, I can immediately see the perfect three-point sermon in it.

      I. Submit to God

      II. Resist the Devil

      III. Draw Near to God

      Notice how easy that was. Next I would flesh out point II. a little.

      II. Resist the Devil

      He will flee from you

      Next, point III.

      III. Draw Near to God

      He will draw near to you

      How do we do this?

      Cleanse our hands

      Purify our hearts

      You can easily see how to continue from there.

      Second, for those who want to get to the full meaning of the passage, they can easily answer the following questions from the diagram:

      1. What is the subject of this passage?

      Submission to God

      2. How do we do this?

      Resist the Devil

      Draw near to God

      3. What will be the result of this action?

      The devil will flee from you.

      God will draw near to you.

      Do you get the idea? It's easy and fun to study the Bible, especially when you understand it better each time you do.

      Try it out, and if you discover new and different ways to use the Easy Study Bible, please let me know so I can share them with others.

      My webpage will have a whole section devoted to the Easy Study Bible, and one page will be dedicated to reader feedback. There will also be a page of Hints & Tips.

      Chapter One

      The Nature of the Son

      ¹ Long ago

      God spoke

      to the fathers

      by the prophets

      at many times

      and in many ways.

      ² In these last days,

      He has spoken

      to us

      by His Son,

      whom He appointed heir of all things,

      through whom also He made the universe.

      ³ He is the radiance

      of His glory

      and the exact expression

      of His nature,

      and sustains all things

      by His powerful word.

      When He had made purification

      for sins,

      He sat down

      at the right hand

      of the Majesty on high,

      ⁴ having become as much higher than the angels,

      as He has inherited a more excellent name.

      The Son Is Superior to Angels

      ⁵ For

      to which

      of the angels

      did He ever say,

      "You are my Son,

      today I have become Your Father"?

      And again,

      "I will be His Father

      and He will be my Son"?

      ⁶ And

      when He

      again

      brings the firstborn

      into the world,

      He says,

      And let all God's angels worship Him.

      ⁷ And

      about the angels,

      He says,

      "The one making His angels

      winds,

      and His ministers

      a flame of fire."

      ⁸ But

      of the Son,

      He says,

      "Your throne,

      O God,

      is forever and ever,

      and

      the righteous scepter

      is the scepter

      of Your kingdom.

      ⁹ "You have loved righteousness

      and hated lawlessness;

      therefore,

      God,

      your God,

      has anointed You

      with the oil of gladness

      above Your companions."

      ¹⁰ and,

      " in the beginning,

      Lord,

      You established the earth,

      and the heavens are the works of Your hands;

      ¹¹ they will perish,

      but you remain;

      and they all wear out like a garment.

      ¹² You will roll them up

      like a cloak.

      They will be changed

      like a cloak.

      But

      you are the same,

      and your years will never end."

      ¹³ But

      to which

      of the angels

      has He ever said,
