	English Standard Version - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The intent of the translators was to produce a readable and accurate translation that stands in the tradition of Bible translations beginning with English religious reformer William Tyndale in 1525–26 and culminating in the King James Version of 1611.
		First and foremost, the ESV is an update of the 1971 edition of the Revised Standard Version (RSV).
		After this, permission was sought and granted from the National Council of Churches to use the 1971 revision of the RSV as the English textual basis for the ESV.

	English Standard Version
		This is an evangelical revision of the Revised Standard Version that corrects the non-Christian interpretations of the RSV in the Old Testament and improves the accuracy throughout with more literal renderings.
		Clearly the ESV was projected as a version that would deliberately adhere to these guidelines, and this is confirmed in the Preface to the version, which gives three paragraphs in defense of generic masculine terms.

	English Standard Version - Theopedia
		The English Standard Version (ESV) is an English translation of the Holy Bible.
		First and foremost, the ESV is an update of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) of 1971 that aims to replace the non–Christian interpretations in the RSV, improve the accuracy throughout with more literal renderings, and somewhat update the language.
		Since its release in 2001, the English Standard Version has been well-received by both individual Christians and churches in the English-speaking world, especially in conservative-leaning Reformed and Presbyterian circles.

	New Revised Standard Version - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops approves only the New American Bible for liturgical use, the NRSV is used in the English-language edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and is the version authorized for liturgical use in Canada.
		Conservatives continued to object to this; the Septuagint and the Gospel of Matthew translate the word into Greek as "parthenos" (virgin), and English translations prior to the RSV had followed the Greek.
		Annotated versions of the RSV were accepted by some Orthodox, but the Orthodox Study Bible chose the New King James Version New Testament as a starting point, and the Old Testament committee chose to make a new translation of the Septuagint rather than use any existing English translation.

	The English Standard Version: An Explanation
		The ESV is a conservative revision of the RSV that fixes the theological problems associated with the latter.
		Where more than one reasonable interpretive option exists, the ESV has tried to preserve the options by an English rendering that allows for them all; or, where this is not possible, has put the more probable option in the text and included the other option(s) in a footnote.
		The ESV is not "gender-neutral," but conforms to the Colorado Springs Guidelines on the issue of gender in English.

		The English Standard Version is an "essentially literal" translation that stands in the classic stream of Bible translations as exemplified by Tyndale's first translation of the Bible in English, the King James Version, and most recently the Revised Standard Version.
		The ESV launch is also unprecedented due to the immediate inclusion of the ESV in Bible software programs by leading publishers of electronic resources for biblical study and scholarly research.
		The ESV is currently available in the newly released BibleWorks 5.0 distributed by Hermeneutika, and in late October will be available on the various editions of Logos Bible Software Series X published by Logos Research Systems.

	Bible Translations Into English
		The English Standard Version uses archaic constructions to produce a text that sounds more literal than it really is. For example, Hosea 9:1 in the English Standard Version reads, “Rejoice not, O Israel” where the equally conservative Holman Christian Standard Bible reads, “Israel, do not rejoice.” The translations are equally literal.
		What we in America call the “King James Version” was authorized by the English Parliament for use in churches, which literally made it the “Authorised Version” and the standard for the Church of England.
		The word “standard” in the name of a Bible translation does not mean that the translation passed the scrutiny of some sort of Underwriters Laboratories for Bible translations, or that they are better or worse than translations without the word “standard” in their names.

		In addition, the ESV preserves the stylistic variety of the biblical writers—from the exalted prose in the early chapters of Genesis, to the flowing narratives of the historical books, to the forceful, closely reasoned logic of Paul’s letters.
		Given these commitments, the English Standard Version is ideally suited as one Bible for all of life— to read and treasure, to study and memorize, for worship and preaching, for personal reading and family devotions, as a lifelong gift to our children—for all who love God’s Word.
		The Tyndale legacy was carried forward by the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), by the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and by the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 (RSV).

	The English Standard Version (ESV)
		It is a revision of the old Revised Standard Version, which earlier met with almost universal condemnation by evangelicals as being "liberal".
		The ESV New Testament is based on the Westcott-Hort Greek text which differs from the Traditional Greek text that underlies the King James Bible; it omits some 5000 words, including 18 entire verses in the New Testament alone.
		The ESV reads: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, UNTIL TRIBUTE COMES TO HIM, and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples." Footnote tells us to compare the Syriac, and Septuagint, but that the Hebrew reads: "until Shiloh comes".

		The English Standard Version is a new and highly accurate translation of the Bible from the original sources.
		It sits in the classic stream of word for word Bible translations, using the Revised Standard Version as a base but incorporating all the most recent advances in scholarship and changes in modern language use.
		In accordance with its commitment to word for word translation, the ESV uses gender-inclusive terms where the original word has no gender-specific connotation, but retains any gender-specific terms as in the original, as well as avoiding unnecessary changes to word order by retaining the generic 'he'.

	The English Standard Version : ChristianCourier.com
		The English rendition of this new version is somewhat analogous to the RSV of 1971, minus the liberal elements of that translation.
		The ESV has followed the NASB in rendering the present participle, hyparchon (“being” KJV; “existing” ASV), in Philippians 2:6, as a past tense form—“was in the form of God”—which could leave the impression that Jesus was not deity while in the flesh, though the translators do not mean to imply this.
		One is grateful, however, for the ESV footnotes on Matthew 16:19 and 18:18, which reflect the perfect tense form of the verbs, “shall have been bound,” etc., thus showing that the apostles yielded to Heaven’s will, rather than the reverse being true (as alleged by Catholicism).

	English Standard Version (ESV)
		The English Standard Version 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.
		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.
		In this regard the footnotes that accompany the ESV text are an integral part of the ESV translation, informing the reader of textual variations and difficulties and showing how these have been resolved by the ESV translation team.

		The English versions that we now use and cherish are almost all copyrighted, and the copyright holders authorize their use only under very restrictive terms.
		Similarly, the ESV Bible I got came with a handy CD which had Bible Study software with the texts of the King James Version and the ESV, but I cannot use it, because the software is for Windows, and a GNU/Linux version is not provided.
		And the ESV does not escape this trend: The text of the ESV is copyrighted, and there’s an authorization to use the text that is also subject to some restrictions.

		The English Standard Version (ESV) stands in the classic mainstream of English Bible translations of the past half-millennium.
		The fountainhead of that stream was William Tyndale’s New Testament of 1526; marking its course were the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 (RSV).
		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 to avoid under-translating or overlooking any nuance of the original text.

		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.
		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.

	Why Use the ESV in Your Church?
		The English Standard Version Bible came about really out of a recognition that there was a need for a literal translation that carried forward the historic stream going all the way back to King James.
		The ESV is dedicated to word-for-word precision in its rendering of the original text, with richness and beauty that reflect the infinite depths of meaning in God’s Word.
		We have inherited, however, the heritage of the King James Version in terms of beauty and rhythm of it, and almost musical character of its language because the English Standard Version was based on the Revised Standard Version of 1952.
