Introduction to the
ESV Bible

The ESV Bible is a
new, essentially literal Bible
translation that combines word-for-word
precision and accuracy with literary
excellence, beauty, and readability.

The English Standard Version (ESV) is
a “word-for-word,”essentially
literaltranslation because every
word of the Bible is inspired by God.

Based on this principle, more than
sixty of the world’sleading
Bible scholarspored over every
word and phrase to achieve the unique
accuracy, excellence, and beauty of the
ESV Bible.

The result is a new Bible translation
(published in October 2001) that has a
timeless quality and enduring
relevance-a translation to trust for
today and for generations to come.

With its distinctive combination of
accuracy, excellence, and beauty, the
ESV is ideally suited to become one
Bible to meet our needs for all of life:

• For personal reading and
  in-depth study
• For preaching, teaching, and
  public worship
• For family reading and devotions
• For memorizing and understanding
  the Word of God

Translation Philosophy

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. 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-for-thought” 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
