We are so grateful to our partners at Tyndale House Publishing for graciously providing us the opportunity to offer the New Living Translation (NLT) as a free download for our mobile app users. They have also given us the updated 2015 NLT text to feature on both our apps and website.
As stated in its preface, “The translators of the New Living Translation set out to render the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English.” Tyndale goes on to explain that the NLT blends literal, word-for-word translation with modern English conceptual equivalency.
