Orthodox Liturgical English Bible (OLEB)
The Orthodox Liturgical English Bible joins Brenton’s English Septuagint, with selected readings from Codex Alexandrinus, to the King James New Testament conformed to Robinson and Pierpont’s Byzantine text (2026). It includes the deuterocanonical books and revises vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and punctuation while retaining traditional English. The edition is available as a single-volume PDF and an online reader; the introduction explains its texts, editorial choices, and conventions.

Build
Install Docker with the Compose plugin and Make, and allow about 5 GB of disk space:
make bootstrap # build the tool image; needs the network
make pdf # prepare, fill, check, and write dist/bible.pdf
A cold filled build can take an hour or more. AGENTS.md covers the other build targets and checks; CONTRIBUTING.md explains how to change the edition. The source catalogue records the pinned inputs and their notices. Maintainer guides in docs/ describe the implementation and are not published on the reader’s website.
