***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



Welcome To The 5AM Family – Inspirational Thought By Sister Clovia – 08 11 2024 (audio only)

WELCOME TO THE 5 AM FAMILY!!

May you find rest for your weary soul and healing for wounds that have taken their toll. 
May we learn to love each other more each new day.
May kind words be on our lips in everything we say.
May the Spirit meet our hearts and teach us how to pray. 
 
Here, you’ll find a place to belong,
Where you’ll always be loved and strong
With each other, we’ll share our joy and sorrow
And build each other up for tomorrow. 

Our Ministry is where God’s love is found
And in His presence, our hearts are bound. 
May you feel His love and our care
And know that you’re always welcome there. 
 
Come, take a seat at the table of love
And eat the spiritual food from above. 
We welcome you to share His light
And bask in its warmth, so pure and bright. 

WELCOME TO THE 5 AM FAMILY!!
 
Therefore, welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you for the glory of God. — Romans 15:7, ESV
