Version Information
You deserve a Bible that brings God's saving truths to life for today’s world. When you choose the GOD’S WORD Translation (GW), you can trust that the words you read are true to their meaning in the ancient texts. This is the Bible that speaks in today’s English so people of all ages can study and comprehend it. You will hear God’s voice clearly from an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand Bible.
Produced in 1995 by God's Word to the Nations Bible Society, Cleveland, Ohio, the translation team was composed of members of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. Their objective was to create a “closest natural equivalence” translation, consciously combining scholarly fidelity with natural English. The grammar is simplified; the style is informal; and sentences are shorter and less complicated than other versions. GOD’S WORD Translation is now published by God’s Word to the Nations Mission Society.
