« | Psalm 15 | » |
1 LORD, who shall sojourn in thy tabernacle? Who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
2 He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart,
3 he who does no slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor,
4 in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear LORD, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,
5 he who puts not his money out to interest, nor takes a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
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.
