The text translation is the American Literary Version by Writ Press, a gently updated revision of the 1901 American Standard Version specially developed for the multi-volume edition of the Bible titled Bibliotheca. Exceptionally literal among modern translations, the ALV preserves the literary qualities of the base translation favoring the ancient idioms and grammar of the original languages.
