The New Living Translation, first published in 1996, began as a revision of "The Living Bible". 90 Translators began work on the project in 1989, and it was originally printed as the New Living Version.
The NLT is used today by many modern Christians, but, like the NIV and other modern translations, lacks many verses found in the King James Bible, such as Matthew 18:11;
For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
The NLT also has noticeable re-translations that differ from the KJV, such as Revelation 22:18-19, which warns against making changes to John's prophecy:
(King James Version)
(18) For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: (19) And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
(NLT)
(18) And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. (19) And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.
