« | Psalm 127 | » |
1 Unless LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless LORD guards the city, the watchman wake but in vain.
2 It is vain for you to rise up early, to take rest late, to eat the bread of toil, for so he gives sleep to his beloved.
3 Lo, sons are a heritage of LORD, and the fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons of youth.
5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They shall not be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
A Conservative Version (ACV)
A Conservative Version (ACV) of the Bible is a translation that aims to provide a conservative and literal interpretation of the biblical texts. Developed with a focus on maintaining fidelity to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts, the ACV emphasizes a word-for-word translation methodology. The goal is to preserve the subtleties and nuances of the original languages as accurately as possible. This approach results in a version of the Bible that seeks to remain true to the text's original meaning and context, appealing to readers who prioritize precision and doctrinal integrity.
The text of the Old Testament for A Conservative Version (ACV) came from the American Standard Version published in 1901. The main changes done for the ACV were the replacement of archaic words with more modern ones, except for the old English pronouns, which were kept because they are more communicative. The New Testament was translated from, The New Testament in the Original Greek According to the Byzantine-Majority Text form. That edition was compiled by Maurice A. Robinson and William G. Pierpont, and is of the Textus Receptus tradition from which came the King James Version.
