[sword-devel] 200 volunteers required to read 5 chapters of the Bible

[Chris Burrell]

Hi

The site you mentioned seems to have lots of stuff about the KJV but I
can't see any mention of the ESV anywhere.

What we're producing here is a tagged ESV. The comparison with the KJV is
just the process to create this. If you know of a free-to-use document that
links every single word in the KJV to its equivalent ESV word, please let
me know.
Cheers
Chris
