	It renders [[Luke 24:1]] as “And on the first of the sabbaths” while it translates [[Acts 20:7]] as “And on the first of the week” even though the two phrases are identical in the Greek texts. To quote the preface "Every effort has been made to secure a comparative degree of uniformity in rendering the original words and phrases. Thus, for example, the Hebrew verb nathan, which is rendered by the King James' translators in sixty-seven different ways... has been restricted and reduced to ten, and so with many others. It is the Translator's ever-growing conviction, that even this smaller number may be reduced still further."

	Another feature of YLT is its treatment of the [[Hebrew]] word olam and the [[Greek language\|Greek]] word [[aeon\|αιων]]. These two words have basically the same meaning, and YLT translates them and their derivatives as “age” or “age-during”. Other English versions most often translate them to indicate eternality (eternal, everlasting, forever, etc). However, there are notable exceptions to this in all major translations, such as [[Matthew 28:20]]: “…I am with you always, to the end of the age” ([[NRSV]]), the word “age” being a translation of aion. Rendering aion to indicate eternality in this verse would result in the contradictory phrase “end of eternity”, so the question arises whether it should ever be so.~~<sup>[]</sup>~~ Proponents of [[Universal Reconciliation]] point out that this has significant implications for the [[problem of hell]]~~<sup>[]</sup>~~.
