By using synonyms and definitions, the Amplified Bible both explains and expands the meaning of words in the text by placing amplification in parentheses and brackets and after key words or phrases. This unique system of translation allows the reader to more completely grasp the meaning of the words as they were understood in the original languages.
Some of the Amplified editions feature new Two-Tone typography. The Amplified Two‑Tone Bibles features soft gray typography to distinguish amplified words from the main text. The result is a clear, elegant reading experience where amplifications are instantly noticeable yet beautifully integrated. Design and typesetting by 2K/Denmark AS.
The Amplified Bible is designed to bring clarity and depth to your study of God’s Word. Using a unique system of amplification, it expands key words and phrases to reveal their fuller meaning in the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. This approach provides richer understanding without sacrificing accuracy, helping you grasp the intent behind every verse, making your time in the Word more insightful and rewarding. This edition is ideal for personal devotion, teaching, or group study.
Since its completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible has been widely embraced as a literal and accurate English translation because it consistently uses the formal equivalence translation philosophy. This method translates word-for-word from the original languages as much as possible. At the same time it recognizes the need for the translation to be readable. The result is an accurate translation that clearly communicates the Word of God in contemporary English.
Answering the Demands of Today
Since the beginning of our translation work in the 1950s, our mission has remained the same: To faithfully translate the inspired Word of God from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek with unsurpassed accuracy into English and Spanish, creating translations that are trusted and understandable. Because language changes over time, we offer multiple versions using different styles of language to meet the broad reading preferences of people today. Our goal is to offer the most accurate Bible translations possible.
The Integrity, Beauty, and Accuracy of the NASB
The NASB has been produced with the conviction that the words of Scripture, as originally penned in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, are inspired by God. Therefore every word must be accurate and precise so that they are read with confidence. Since these words are the living and eternal Word of God, the Holy Scriptures must speak clearly with fresh power to each generation, to give wisdom that leads to salvation so that all people may serve Christ for the glory of God.
