I forgot I had DBH's New Testament translation pre-ordered, it arrived today.
Here's how he translates the Gospel according to St. John 1:1-5:
"In the origin there was the Logos, and the Logos was present with GOD, and the Logos was god; This one was present with GOD in the origin. All things came to be through him, and without him came to be not a single thing that has come to be. In him was life, and this life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not conquer it."
To be fair to DBH, he does offer a postcript to the prologue of St. John's Gospel (I'll post a picture of the first page below)
His translation of Matthew 6:5-6:
"And when you pray do not be like those who are playacting; for they love to pray while standing in the synagogues and on the corners of streets, so that they may be visible to men; I tell you truly, they have their recompense in full."
John 6:33:
"I have spoken these things to you so that you might have peace in me. In the cosmos you have suffering; but take heart - I have conquered the cosmos."
Matthew 9:11-13:
"And, seeing this, the Pharisees said to his disciples, 'Why does your teacher eat with tax-collectors and sinners?' But he heard them and said, 'The hale do not have need of a physician, but rather those who are ill. Go then and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy and not sacrifice'; for I came to call not the upright, but sinners.'"
Romans 8:37-39:
"Rather, in all these things we more than conquer through the one who has loved us. For I have been persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor Archons nor things present nor things imminent nor Powers, Nor height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in the Anointed, Jesus our Lord."
