About this translation
The World English Bible is a modern-English, public-domain translation developed from the American Standard Version. Its project updates older vocabulary and grammar while consulting biblical-language texts.
The translation is intended to be freely read, copied, and shared. The project includes multiple editions, so spelling, divine-name conventions, and textual choices can differ between releases.
The World English Bible developed through a series of drafts and releases. When comparing passages, consider the particular edition and its textual choices.
