Chinese Union Version

The Chinese Union Version (CUV) is a popular Chinese translation of the Bible, first published in 1919. It was created by a team of scholars translating the scriptures into a language style that balances accuracy and clarity, making it accessible to Chinese readers. Widely used among Chinese Protestant churches, the CUV aims to present the Bible’s message faithfully while maintaining literary elegance. Its enduring popularity stems from its tradition, readability, and the way it has shaped Chinese Christian worship and study over the past century.
