***The English Standard Version (ESV) stands in the classic mainstream of English Bible translations over half-millennium. The fountainhead of that stream was William Tyndale’s New Testament of 1526; marking its course was the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 (RSV). Faithfulness to the text and vigorous pursuit of accuracy were combined with simplicity, beauty, and dignity of expression in that stream. Our goal has been to carry forward this legacy for a new century.

To this end, each word and phrase in the ESV has been carefully weighed against the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek to ensure the fullest accuracy and clarity and avoid under-translating or overlooking any nuance of the original text. The words and phrases grow out of the Tyndale-King James legacy and, most recently, out of the RSV, with the 1971 RSV text providing the starting point for our work. Archaic language has been brought to current usage, and significant corrections have been made in translating key texts. But throughout, our goal has been to retain the depth of meaning and enduring language that have made their indelible mark on the English-speaking world and have defined the life and doctrine of the church over the last four centuries.

The ESV is an “essentially literal” translation that seeks as far as possible to capture the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each Bible writer. It seeks to be transparent to the original text, letting the reader see the structure and meaning of the original as directly as possible. More about the ESV translation philosophy….***

THIS WEEK’S INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT BY SISTER CLOVIA



Use Me, LORD!

Someone is groping Lord, lost and astray;
Help me to light my lamp and show the way.
Someone is lonely, Lord, no friends are near;
Help me to be a friend and bring him cheer.

Someone is discouraged Lord; his hope is dim;
Help me to lift his faith, by helping him.

Someone is hungry, Lord, hear his prayer. 
Give me a heart to help and gladly share
My lamp l’ll light and be a friend, and bear
My brother’s care. To him I’ll give a helping hand, and freely
With him share. And thus I’ll prove my love to Thee, andShow a grateful heart.
For everything Thou givest me— So rich in grace Thou art!
                               — Dale Crowley

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying , Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?
Then said I, “Here am I; send me.Isaiah 6:8
