In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. | |
The origin of the NLT came from a project aiming to revise The Living Bible (TLB). This effort eventually led to the creation of the NLT—a new translation separate from the LB. The first NLT edition retains some stylistic influences of the LB, but these are less evident in text revisions that have been published since.
