***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



Thankful cheerful handsome millennial black guy wearing blue sweater holding hands on chest and smiling, expressing gratitude isolated on yellow background, panorama with copy space

BE THANKFUL AT ALL TIMES

The Bible encourages us to always be thankful. That’s easy when God answers our prayers and delivers us from problems but being thankful isn’t always easy when things go wrong. So, how can we remain thankful amid suffering?

We can remember times when God has delivered us from problems and trust Him to do the same thing again. We can also rejoice over things that are not wrong in our lives.

We are all very blessed, and it is easy to be thankful when we remember our blessings. 

We can choose to be thankful to God as an act of obedience and faith. We don’t have to wait for a feeling of gratitude to give thanks. By doing so, we witness God’s deliverance and empower ourselves to be happier. 

BE THANKFUL

Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire,
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?
Be thankful when you don’t know something,
For it gives you the opportunity to learn. 
It is easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life’s rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.                                                             -Author Unknown

In everything, give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18
