It is our prayer that, by God’s grace and providence, the ESV Bible may become established and used in our own country and internationally as a leading translation, for the spread of the Gospel, for the salvation of souls, for the building up of the church, and for God’s glory alone. “We have embraced the ESV as the preaching, teaching, reading, and memorizing Bible at our church because, of all the translations I am aware of, it embodies the best balance of literal accuracy and contemporary English readability. I am deeply thankful to God for this translation of the Bible.” JOHN PIPER Pastor for Preaching, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis ACCUR ACY WORDS MATTER. When it comes to God’s words, it’s a matter of eternal urgency that we get every word right. You can trust the ESV Bible to provide you with an accurate English translation of God’s Word from the original languages. “After twenty years of teaching God’s Word and changing translations I have found at last, by God’s grace, a translation that is easy to read and immensely accurate. The ESV is the new first choice for serious students and careful communicators of God’s unchanging Word.” JA M E S M AC D O NA L D Senior Pastor, Harvest Bible Chapel, Rolling Meadows, Illinois READABILITY CLARITY ENHANCES UNDERSTANDING. The ability to understand more of God’s Word means greater opportunity for you to learn more about God himself. Without compromising Scripture’s depth of meaning, the ESV Bible makes this possible for people of all ages. “I have adopted the ESV as the primary text for my teaching and writing ministry. I appreciate . . . the ESV because it retains theological terminology that is at the heart of the Christian faith and exercises care and precision in the translation in a way that preserves literary beauty.” NA N C Y L E IG H D E M O S S Author, Host of Revive Our Hearts radio BEAUTY THERE IS BEAUTY IN TRUTH. Not only does the ESV Bible retain the original meaning of biblical texts—it preserves literary beauty as well. The splendor of God’s message in the Bible has not been dimmed or veiled in this “essentially literal” translation. “I have found the English Standard Version to be wonderfully faithful, solid, and reliable. I use it personally for study purposes and can heartily endorse it.” “I’m so grateful for a translation that I can trust for its accuracy and enjoy for its clarity. This is a Bible that my entire family will benefit from for years to come.” C HA R L E S W. C O L S O N C A R O LY N M A HA N EY Founder, Prison Fellowship Ministries Author and Speaker, Covenant Life Church “ The ESV represents a new level of excellence in Bible translations—combining unquestionable accuracy in translation with a beautiful style of expression.

The translation safeguards essential accuracy while maintaining a style that is both fluid and beautiful.” ST EV E G R E E N Steve Green Ministries “ The ESV is what I’ve wanted for myself and my church for twenty-five years—one Bible we can all read, study, memorize, and give to our children.” D R . J O SE P H F. ( SK I P ) RYA N Pastor, Park Cities Presbyterian Church Chairman, Ligonier Ministries “I am so impressed with the clarity, beauty, and power of the ESV that I feel that I am reading the Bible again for the first time.” “I am thrilled to finally possess a translation that excels for serious study, devotional reading, Scripture memorization, and the preaching/teaching event. The ESV truly is a Bible for all of life.” D R . S T EV E B R OW N YA N C EY A R R I N G T O N President, Professor of Preaching, Key Life Network, Reformed Theological Seminary Teaching Pastor, Clear Creek Community Church ST UDY GOD’S WORD DESERVES ATTENTION. When you apply yourself to the Bible, you will gain wisdom for living from the One by whom all things have been made. The world fiercely competes for your eyes, your mind, and your heart. What you apply yourself to today will determine the kind of fruit produced in you tomorrow.

As such, its emphasis is on “word-for-word” correspondence, at the same time taking into account differences of grammar, syntax, and idiom between current literary English and the original languages. Thus, it seeks to be transparent to the original text, letting the reader see as directly as possible the structure and meaning of the original. In contrast to the ESV, some Bible versions have followed a “thought-forthought” rather than “word-for-word” translation philosophy, emphasizing “dynamic equivalence” rather than the “essentially literal” meaning of the original. A “thought-for-thought” translation is of necessity more inclined to reflect the interpretive opinions of the translator and the influences of contemporary culture. Every translation is at many points a trade-off between literal precision and readability, between “formal equivalence” in expression and “functional equivalence” in communication, and the ESV is no exception. Within this framework we have sought to be “as literal as possible” while maintaining clarity of expression and literary excellence. Therefore, to the extent that plain English permits and the meaning in each case allows, we have sought to use the same English word for important recurring words in the original; and, as far as grammar and syntax allow, we have rendered Old Testament passages cited in the New in ways that show their correspondence. Thus in each of these areas, as well as throughout the Bible as a whole, we have sought to capture the echoes and overtones of meaning that are so abundantly present in the original texts. As an essentially literal translation, then, the ESV seeks to carry over every possible nuance of meaning in the original words of Scripture into our own language. As such, it is ideally suited for in-depth study of the Bible. Indeed, with its emphasis on literary excellence, the ESV is equally suited for public reading and preaching, for private reading and reflection, for both academic and devotional study, and for Scripture memorization.
