“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
The American Standard Version of 1901 was the American revision of the English Revised Version — prized for its precise, almost word-for-word fidelity to the Hebrew and Greek.
Its accuracy made it the favorite study text of a generation and the base for later translations including the RSV and NASB.
BibleDawn includes the ASV in verse comparison for readers who want a strictly literal rendering.
