***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



OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!

Some people say the word “awesome” should be reserved for God alone because to call anything awesome is to reduce God’s awesomeness. At any rate, “awesome” is an appropriate word to use for God and it is not to be used flippantly. In Psalm 113:5, the psalmist asked, “Who is like unto the Lord our God?”  His exaltation above everything on earth or heaven shows Yahweh is incomparable. Nothing exists that is greater than He who dwells on high. 

The songwriter, Richard W. Mullins, penned:

          Our God is an awesome God
          He reigns from heaven above
          With wisdom, power and love
          Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God, no matter what storms rage around us, God reminds us that He is there.

Our God truly is an awesome God, worthy of our highest praise and most humble service. The psalmist said at Psalm 145:6 “Men shall speak of the power of your awesome acts, and I will tell of your greatness.”

Daniel confessed at Daniel 9:4, “Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments.”

I am not a logophile or eloquent with my words like the psalmist, the songwriter or Daniel, but my heart sings, “My God is an awesome God!”
