World English Bible Permissions (WEB)

 

This is why I had to delete most of my writing on Booksie and had to make remakes of my books that are for sale.

First of all, I received an email scam in my junk mail (never read those unless you have to) that said I was hacked, I believed this, and I didn’t want my writing stolen. I’m glad none of my writing was taken, but I was under a lot of stress. It is finally over, and I never paid the person, I didn’t have enough money anyway.

The bad news about sharing the Bible, most Bibles are copyrighted, and they give you a limited number of verses to use, and you may have to pay royalties.

The good news about sharing the Bible, I bought the World English Bible (WEB) on amazon for only $1.99. I downloaded Kindle For PC, free on amazon. See the amazing copyright information below for the World English Bible!

*The World English Bible is in the Public Domain. That means that it is not copyrighted. However, "World English Bible" is a Trademark of eBible.org. You may copy, publish, proclaim, distribute, redistribute, sell, give away, quote, memorize, read publicly, broadcast, transmit, share, back up, post on the Internet, print, reproduce, preach, teach from, and use the World English Bible as much as you want, and others may also do so. All we ask is that if you CHANGE the actual text of the World English Bible in any way, you not call the result the World English Bible any more. This is to avoid confusion, not to limit your freedom. The Holy Bible is God's Word. It belongs to God. He gave it to us freely, and we who have worked on this translation freely give it to you by dedicating it to the Public Domain.*

*There are already many good translations of the Holy Bible into contemporary English. Unfortunately, almost all of them are restricted by copyright and copyright holder policy. This restricts publication and republication of God’s Word in many ways, such as in downloadable files on the Internet, use of extensive quotations in books, etc. The World English Bible was commissioned by God in response to prayer about this subject. Because the World English Bible is in the Public Domain (not copyrighted), it can be freely copied, distributed, and redistributed without any payment of royalties. You don’t even have to ask permission to do so. You may publish the whole World English Bible in book form, bind it in leather and sell it. You may incorporate it into your Bible study software. You may make and distribute audio recordings of it. You may broadcast it. All you have to do is maintain the integrity of God’s Word before God, and reserve the name “World English Bible” for faithful copies of this translation.*

I believe you should add WEB at the end of each verse, so people know which Bible it’s from. I personally love the World English Bible, especially now that I can use God’s word all I want with no copyright restrictions.
