The New Living Translation combines the latest biblical scholarship with a clear, dynamic writing style that communicates God’s Word powerfully to all who hear and read it. It renders the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English that was written to be read aloud. With a focus on clarity, The New Living Translation invites readers to go deeper into the biblical text to discover God’s story for their lives and the world.
The New Living Translation uses the meaning-based translation model. In meaning-based translations, the translators start with a source-language text and dig beneath the surface to discover its meaning. The translators then search for the best ways to re-express that meaning using words and phrases from the language into which the text is being translated.
