NRSV (New Revised Standard Version)

The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) is a modern translation of the Bible, completed in 1989 by a team of scholars. It aims to produce an accurate, clear, and readable text that respects the original languages—Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek—while using contemporary language. The NRSV is widely used in academic, Christian, and mainline Protestant settings because of its commitment to scholarly integrity and inclusive language. It balances fidelity to ancient texts with accessibility, making it suitable for study, worship, and personal reading.
