***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



Actions Speak Louder Than Words – Inspirational Thought By Sister Clovia – 08 18 2024

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

Age-old wisdom tells us that “actions speak louder than words” and applies to every aspect of life. It’s not enough to merely talk about change or good intentions; the steps we take make a real impact. 

Our actions, with their transformative power, can inspire, influence, and bring about significant change in the world. So, let’s strive to let our actions speak for us and show the world who we are.

In a world filled with noise and empty promises, the wisdom of the Bible reminds us that actions speak louder than words. As we navigate our daily lives, let’s embody Matthew 5:16’s powerful message: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Let your light shine not just in eloquent words but through tangible actions

Let’s

  • Be an example of patience with others; 
  • Show kindness to unkind people; 
  • Forgive people that you feel don’t deserve your forgiveness; 
  • Love unconditionally;
  • Let your actions always reflect who you are

As the saying goes, “Let’s not just talk the talk but walk the walk.” So, let’s remember that our actions are not just a reflection of our beliefs, but they truly define who we are.
