The reliable and readable ESV in a trim portable size for every day reading.
An excellent choice for personal reading and study, and for teaching, preaching, and worship, the English Standard Version translation is founded on the belief that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. Setting itself apart from other translations by sacrificing neither accuracy nor readability, the ESV is an 'essentially literal' translation that seeks to duplicate the original texts while taking into account the differences between modern English and the original languages. ESV sets a new standard - and is truly a Bible for all people.
