💎 Distinctive Features

Preservation of original grammar: Attempts to retain Hebrew and Greek tenses, participles, and word order where feasible.
Consistent terminology: Strives for uniform rendering of the same original terms across contexts.
Revised 1898 edition: Final revision by Robert Young, reflecting refinements to the initial 1862 publication.
Archaic diction: Uses older English forms and expressions to maintain literalness.
