Bíblia Livre Para Todos (BLT)
Free Bible Ministry · Open Access
Bíblia Livre Para Todos is a Brazilian Portuguese translation based on the English Free Bible Version (FBV), produced by Free Bible Ministry with reference to the original Hebrew and Greek texts. It was created specifically to remove copyright barriers to Scripture access for Portuguese-speaking audiences, following the same free-to-use, free-to-share model behind other Free Bible Version translations produced in numerous languages worldwide.
The underlying FBV translation aims for a natural, easy-to-read style that avoids archaic or overly formal phrasing while staying close to the meaning of the original texts. That balance of accuracy and readability makes BLT well suited for mobile Bible apps, study tools, and outreach projects aimed at everyday Portuguese-speaking readers rather than specialists.
Available through API.Bible under an Open Access license, BLT gives developers and organizations a freely licensed option for bringing Portuguese Scripture into apps, websites, and other digital experiences — including commercial use, redistribution, and adaptation — without the constraints of a standard commercial license.

Published in 2016 by Editora Mundo Cristão under the coordination of a dedicated translation committee that balanced formal and dynamic equivalence, NVT uses contemporary Portuguese vocabulary and more than 4,000 explanatory notes to make Scripture accessible to today's readers. It is distributed under a standard commercial license.
Translation for Translators in Brazilian Portuguese (TfTP)
SIL Global · Open Access
Tradução para Tradutores is the Portuguese rendering of Ellis W. Deibler Jr.'s Translation for Translators (T4T), a specialized text designed to help Bible translators working in languages that lack their own Scripture resources. Rather than reading like a typical devotional Bible, it renders figurative language, rhetorical questions, and implied information explicitly.
Distributed openly through SIL Global and eBible.org under a Creative Commons license, TfTP is available through API.Bible as an Open Access resource — most useful for translation-support tools and projects serving Bible translation teams rather than general reading audiences.
O Livro (OL)
Biblica, Inc. · Unique Direct End User License Required
O Livro is a thought-for-thought Portuguese Bible that favors contemporary idiom and everyday language over word-for-word rendering, with descriptive section headings and explanatory notes added to help readers follow the narrative and understand difficult passages without outside references.
The paraphrase tradition behind O Livro traces back to Kenneth N. Taylor's The Living Bible and the translation ministry he founded, Living Bibles International, which produced modern-language New Testaments in close to 100 languages before merging with the International Bible Society in 1992 — the organization that today, as Biblica, continues to publish and distribute editions like O Livro.
Because O Livro prioritizes readability over formal literalness, it works well for readers encountering Scripture for the first time or seeking a more conversational tone, and it is often used alongside more literal translations for devotional reading and evangelism.
