“The LSB is the most literal translation we could possibly have.”

“The Legacy Standard Bible is the final step of refinement of a great English translation. Scholar, pastor, or student will find it to be their consistent, reliable source.”

“The Legacy Standard Bible, hands down, is the most accurate translation of God’s inspired word from the original languages and it is now my primary study and preaching Bible.”

“The Legacy Standard Bible excels in each of the aspects that are most important in a Bible translation for any faithful student of the Scriptures: accuracy, fidelity to the original texts, and internal consistency all in a thoroughly readable format. Our church has adopted it as our pew Bible and as the Word is preached, I continue to gain new insights into the text due to the consistent nature and quality of this translation.”

“At last! This is the translation so many have been waiting for. Every English speaker needs to own and use this translation. My hope is that many more of us outside the USA can now reap the benefit from the legacy of all the great work put into the NASB but now taken to an even higher standard. It is aptly named.”

“The Legacy Standard Bible forges together precise translation and editorial clarity so that expositors and students of the Bible alike can be confident they are reading the active and living Word of God. An essential edition in every Christian library, the Legacy Standard Bible is sure to stand strong alongside other historic translations.”

“The Legacy Standard Bible has quickly become my most trusted translation in both my study and preaching. It accurately translates the original meaning of every word in a consistent way, maintains a smooth and natural reading, and is faithful to the language of the original text. For example, the proper name of God (Yahweh) is used wherever it appears in the Old Testament. If you want a translation that is accurate, readable, and faithful to the original biblical text, you need to own the Legacy Standard Bible.”

The Bible…must be as close to the original autographs as possible while still being intelligible. The text you read must draw you to the heights of adoration and worship; I am convinced that the Legacy Standard Bible offers the best scholarship available while still being readable. …  It is not just the Bible to build a legacy upon, it is the Bible with which to glorify Christ.

“The LSB is an essential resource for any serious student of Scripture. There isn’t a translation that I consult more often or with greater eagerness. It is the update to the NASB that we’ve all been waiting for.”

“The Legacy Standard Bible stands as a faithful and eloquent translation. It is readable, digestible, and reflects the majestic grandeur of the all-sufficient Word of God. We pray it is both read and embraced far and wide among the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, the people who have been given a Spirit-powered hunger and thirst for the truth the Scripture communicates.”

“The LSB is an accurate, reliable, readable translation in the tradition of the NASB.  For serious students of Scripture, this Bible is a great tool for inductive Bible study or sermon preparation.  Its readability and reverent use of language also make it a great devotional Bible.  As someone concerned about the direction many modern translations are going (gender-inclusive language, etc), I am encouraged by the arrival of the LSB.  It is a reminder that God continues to preserve His Word.”

“I’ve read some of my favorite passages and I find it refreshing to see some of those details. Something I really appreciate about the LSB is it uses the Name of God in the Old Testament, Yahweh. By translating Yahweh in the text, it brings a surprising element of clarity. There’s features in this translation that are great for the student of Scripture and I’ve really been enjoying it.”

“For more than 25 years, the NASB has been my translation-of-choice, primarily because of its preciseness in translating the original languages. However, I’ve found the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) to be even more precise. Preciseness in translation is, personally, of primary importance to me when choosing a Bible, as precision leads to clarity in understanding the text which, consequently, leads to better interpreting and applying the text. As a student of Scripture, as every professing Christian ought to be, I am pleased to endorse the LSB as my preferred Bible translation.”

“The LSB strikes a perfect balance between accuracy and readability. The precise word-for-word translation, preserving both the words and the very sentence structure of Scripture, offers an experience that is as close as possible to reading the original languages themselves. The translation also flows smoothly and naturally, making the text accessible to all readers, regardless of their level of biblical knowledge. I wholeheartedly recommend the LSB to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Scriptures.”

“The LSB is a readable as well as an understandable translation of God’s Holy Word. I have benefitted from it in the short time I have owned my own copy. May our Lord use this translation to motivate men and women to meditate in HIs Word day and night.
My husband had so looked forward to its publication, but now He is with the Living Word!”

“As a professor, pastor, and counselor I have always sought a translation that is first and foremost stubbornly accurate to the original languages. Why is this so important? The closer we come to the original words of Scripture, the closer we are to the very thoughts of God. In my ministry, I want the people to think God’s thoughts after Him. The LSB exceeds such a standard of excellence. It is not only very readable, but it is also fastidiously precise to the original text. If you are looking for excellence in a Bible, the LSB is the end of your search!”

I appreciate the Legacy Standard Bible because it sticks closest to the original languages while maintaining the readability necessary to make it a great Bible to teach and preach from.
