NRSV New Revised Standard Version

NRSV New Revised Standard Version

The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) features a balanced translation style which makes it popular with many churches, and it is the most cross-denominational Bible as it is widely used by Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox Churches, and it is also very popular in theological colleges.

It was produced in 1989 as a major revision of the 1971 edition of the Revised Standard Version, designed to create a modern, accurate and readable translation that stands in the tradition of the King James Bible.

It has been anglicised for British use and comes in Protestant editions (with or without the Deuterocanonical Books) and in Catholic editions.

Sample verse

How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? (1 John 3.17)
