The American Standard Version represents a watershed moment in biblical translation history.

The Berean Standard Bible represents a modern effort to combine accuracy with readability for contemporary readers. Produced by the Bible Hub team and released in 2020, it is based on the most reliable Hebrew and Greek manuscripts available.

The Douay-Rheims American Bible represents the Catholic English-speaking tradition's approach to Scripture.

“For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in him, may not perish, but may have life everlasting.”

The Joseph Smith Translation represents a unique scriptural work within the Latter-day Saint tradition.
