***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



WISDOM IS PRICELESS

 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.  — Proverbs 8:11 

There is something much more valuable than diamonds, rubies, and emeralds: the ability to think like God, to make good decisions, to know how to build good relationships, to understand God’s way and His plan is of more excellent value than anything else we could want. 

Wisdom is far more valuable than any amount of money. But do people really seek wisdom?  Many say they seek wisdom, but when confronted with truth, they develop their beliefs to accommodate their lifestyle.  This skewed thinking is why Godly wisdom is so precious and needed! 

Many give their all to pursuing wealth, not realizing that there is something more valuable: Godly wisdom! Godly wisdom allows us to see where we are in our present circumstances, how we got there, and what it will take to resolve our problems or move to the next level. 

Seek wisdom and truth.  Jesus said He is The Truth, The Way, and The Life of God. 

SEEK JESUS CHIRST, OUR LORD!
