The Amplified Bible is designed to bring clarity and depth to your study of God’s Word. Using a unique system of amplification, it explains and expands the meaning of key words and phrases by placing synonyms and definitions in parentheses and brackets directly within the text. This approach allows readers to more fully grasp the meaning of Scripture as it was understood in the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.
This distinctive translation method provides richer insight without sacrificing accuracy, helping reveal the intent behind each passage and making Scripture more accessible and meaningful. The Amplified Bible is ideal for personal devotion, teaching, and group study, especially for readers who desire deeper understanding as they read.
Some Amplified Bible editions feature Two‑Tone typography, which uses soft gray text to distinguish amplified words from the main text. This design enhancement creates a clear, elegant reading experience where amplifications are instantly noticeable while remaining beautifully integrated with the Scripture text.
The Lockman Foundation is a religious nonprofit, nondenominational Christian ministry committed to the faithful translation of Scripture from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. Every Bible we publish is produced with careful scholarship, theological integrity, and a deep respect for the inspired Word of God.

The Accuracy and Integrity of the New American Standard Bible (NASB)
The New American Standard Bible is widely respected for its commitment to formal equivalence—a translation philosophy that seeks to render the original languages of Scripture word‑for‑word wherever possible while remaining clear and readable.
Available in NASB 1995 and NASB 2020 editions, the NASB is trusted by pastors, professors, and serious students of Scripture who value precision, grammatical consistency, and faithfulness to the original text for teaching, preaching, and in‑depth study.
