“Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu o seu Filho unigênito, para que todo aquele que nele crê não pereça, mas tenha a vida eterna.”
João Ferreira de Almeida began translating the Bible into Portuguese in the 1640s while still a teenager — the first complete Bible translation in the language.
His name remains synonymous with the Portuguese Bible across Brazil, Portugal, and the Lusophone world.
BibleDawn’s Portuguese edition (/pt/) uses a public-domain Almeida text.
