NEW - the worlds first affirming and inclusive 2 column Old and New Testament Standard Red Letter Edition. The Modern Standard Version is a complete translation of the Holy Bible in modern English. The Modern Standard Version is primarily that of the "equivalence" of a word for word translation. The Septuagint, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Samaritan Pentateuch, Syriac Peshitta, Aramaic Targum, Old Latin, Vulgate manuscripts, the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (5th edition.) and the Hebrew Tanakh was used to translate the Old Testament and correct the Masoretic Leningrad Codex. Critical texts are used to translate the New Testament instead of the Majority text that the KJV and the ASV used. Thousands of archaic words and phrases have been updated and the MSV was checked against the Greek and Hebrew texts where there are significant textual variants or the meaning is not certain.Anglo-Saxon words such as sin and Hell (which are not Hebrew or Greek words) have been replaced case by case with the proper English words. Also, there were six scriptures known as "the clobber scriptures" that have been used to hate, condemn and exclude the LGBTQ community. Those six passages have nothing to do with homosexuality. Yet, the reason why they claim to do those things is because they say they hate "sin". It's not sin they hate, it's homosexuals! They do not put forth the same kind of energy on anything else they call sin. Scripture should never be used to give people a license to become gatekeepers or modern day pharisees. The MSV is the worlds first truly inclusive and affirming Bible!
