The NLT is designed to be accessible to readers of all ages and stages of life. Its clarity allows everyone— from new believers to seasoned scholars—to understand the Bible deeply and engage with it meaningfully.
The NLT scholars began their work with extensive proficiency in understanding the original-language texts in their ancient contexts. Then they expertly translated the meaning into expressions that are clear to readers of English in the twenty-first century. The NLT translation philosophy helps readers access the texts’ original meaning in words they can truly understand.
This translation philosophy means the New Living Translation is well suited for sermon preparation, preaching, teaching, Bible study, family devotions, group discussions and everyday reading for people of all ages and stages of life.
