Portions of the Holy Bible in the Plain English Version translation for Australian Aboriginal people who speak English as a second language

First of all, a long time ago, God made everything. He made the sky, and he made the earth. He made all the things that are everywhere.

—Genesis 1:1

This is one of David’s songs for God. God looks after me properly, he gives me everything that I need. You know about people that properly look after sheep all the time, called shepherds. Well, God looks after me like that. He is a good shepherd for me.

—Psalm 23:1

Think, instead, about the things that are good for God’s family, and try to do the good things that God wants you to do. Then God will give you all those other things that you need.

—Matthew 6:33

You see, God loved all of the people in the world. He loved everyone so much that he sent them his only son, his special son. God sent him to die instead of them, so that if anyone trusts him, God will not finish them up, but they will live with him for ever.

—John 3:16

And we know too that God picked us out to be his people, to love him and to do whatever he wants, so he makes everything work out good for us.

—Romans 8:28
