INTRODUCTION The idea of a very readable and yet accurate version of the scriptures came to us in an igloo in the frozen Canadian Arctic many years ago. A few of the primitive Eskimos with whom we were working then were just starting to learn English. Although it was twenty years later before the New Life Bible was published, the idea never left us. Instead, during those years, vocabulary and thought patterns were observed which helped set the course for a version that would eventually be used and appreciated in many parts of the world where English is used as a second language.

The secret of its readability is in the limited vocabulary. In most cases, each word uses only one meaning. Difficult biblical words found in other versions were broken down into simple, meaningful phrases.

Other problems in Bible reading were researched, and the end result is a very readable and understandable version. Even educated adults who are familiar with the scriptures find themselves startled into new insights by its blunt simplicity.

Those of us who worked on this limited vocabulary New Life Version were constantly watching to keep it understandable without sacrificing accuracy. There was no thought to change God’s holy Word to today’s street language. In fact, in many places, the wording and beauty of older versions have been retained. Paraphrasing, or man’s idea of what the Bible says, was ruled out. The careful and prayerful use of some basic words can be made to say what the original languages said, thus assuring the reader of an accurate text.

Two different times, the Bible speaks of the very words that were written by God and by Christ. Exodus 31:18 says, “When the Lord had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two stone writings of the Law, pieces of stone written on by the finger of God.” And John 8:6 says, “Jesus got down and began to write in the dust with His finger.” Both of these writings were soon destroyed. The pieces of stone with the written Law were broken in front of the children of Israel who

vi

were worshiping a false god, and it was not long before the people walked over what Jesus had written on the ground. But it pleased God to have His law and the good news of life that lasts forever written by men He chose for that special job.

Those early men of God who copied the words given by the Holy Spirit that make up the 66 different books of the Bible used different languages than are used today. From Genesis to Revelation forty different men were used over a period of 1600 years. Four hundred years of time separated the Old Testament from the New. The way of life of the people living in Old Testament times was much different from those living during New Testament times. Hebrew was the language of the Old Testament, and Greek was used in the New Testament.

Those men did not write the Bible, but were led or guided by the Holy Spirit as to what they wrote and the words to use. “Understand this first: No part of the Holy Writings was ever made up by any man. No part of the Holy Writings came long ago because of what men wanted to write. But holy men who belonged to God spoke (wrote) what the Holy Spirit told them” (2 Peter 1:20–21).

The first copies of the holy scriptures were perfect and without error.

But man is not perfect, and because of changes in languages through the many years and translation from one language to another, no version can claim that same degree of perfection.

Since about 1900, many different versions have been printed in English—and hundreds in other major languages and tribal languages around the world. In all these languages, God’s written Word is alive today.

Through the years, sinful men have tried to destroy it, but this living Book can never be destroyed. “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away” (Matthew 24:35).

The Word of God contains many promises. This one tells what reading the Bible will do: “All the Holy Writings are God-given and are made alive

by Him. Man is helped when he is taught God’s Word. It shows him how to be right with God. It gives the man who ­belongs to God everything he needs to work well for Him” (2 Timothy 3:16–17).

We dedicate this New Life Bible to Him in whose honor it has been published. May it give all who read it a greater understanding of the scriptures and a better knowledge of Jesus Christ, who came to save from the penalty and power of sin all who will put their trust in Him.
