comment Is there a modern English translation of the Bible that uses the second-person plural pronoun?
Correct, it is not public domain. As you mentioned the Society holds the copyright. I just figured I'd mention it because it happened to offer the feature he was looking for. Print copies are freely available, though, for individuals. They don't charge for any of their literature (the printing is supported by optional voluntary donations). I'm not sure what arrangements are possible for a bulk order. So perhaps it could be useful in hardcopy form.

Jon, you point to John 1:1 "The word was God" (KJV). Granted, this is the traditional rendering of the verse but that does not mean it is the correct rendering. NW is not the only translation that renders John 1:1 that way. Please see: watchtower.org/e/ti/article_08.htm#john1 for other examples. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania holds the copyright but they distribute hardcopies free of charge (the printing is supported by voluntary donations). Thanks for the +1!
