N2  - The Pinoy version of the Bible was released by the Philippine Bible Society (PBS)  in September 2018. After its publication, concerns have been raised about the translation.  Filipinos and church members are questioning its reliability and effectiveness in the church  settings. The goal of this paper is to explore the Pinoy version of the Bible through multiple  approaches: a register analysis to identify the key features of the language used in the  translation, a survey to find out who among the people group accept it and at what level,  online forms and face-to-face interview to acquire the different perceptions of the research  participants. The study was conducted with different people groups in the church namely:  youth, men, women, leaders, and elders. There are 100 participants in total. The findings  of the study revealed that youth and leaders accept the Pinoy version, acceptance level for  the youth, and slight acceptance for the leaders. On the other hand, men, women, and elders  did not accept the translation. In another finding, all of them agreed that the linguistic  features (English Nouns, English Adjectives, Prefixed, Transition Words, Contraction,  Shallow Words, and Code-Switching) in the translation are factors in their acceptance.  Furthermore, the following major themes evolved from data analysis: Translation  Concerns, Lack and Loss, Specific Audience, and Strong Points. Subthemes that emerged  from the data are as follows Pure Language, Confusion, Shallow and Informal Translation,  Holiness and Seriousness, Meaning, For Younger Generation, Age Factor, Easier to  Understand, and Trending
