Revised Standard Version

The text is based on the New Revised Standard Version, described as “a modern English translation with a strong literal tradition.”

In previous studies, I showed how the English Standard Version, in particular, had actually taken the Revised Standard Version of 1971 and made the gender language more conservative.

The team also translated the Old Testament into Yupik using the Revised Standard Version of the Bible.

The original Revised Standard Version was 1,400 pages; the abbreviated one, about 800.

While the words in the King James Bible might be a bit confusing because it is not written in modern English, the New Revised Standard Version is a good substitute here.
