As any Translation it has short comings. I prefer to have the Byzantine Text as my Preference for the underlying Greek New Testament Text and the Masoretic Hebrew Text for the underlying Hebrew Text for the Old Testament.
my Habit in studying the English Text is To view several English Translations ( )

First sentence: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

I used my revised "Power 60" Bible reading plan. Well, perhaps I didn't follow it exactly. I started May 26, 2023 and finished July 5, 2023. Clearly less than sixty days. But I'm like that.

I read mostly from the Large Print edition. Give or take a few days subtraction/distraction. The truth is I couldn't settle down. I read two or three days in the ESV Creeds Bible. I read two or three days in the ESV Reformation Bible. But for the most part, like I said, I read from the Large Print edition. My copy--purchased used--is the 2011 edition of the ESV text. There has been another update.

This particular edition of the Bible is double column, black letter, decent font size.

I love the English Standard Version. It probably isn't my all-time favorite, favorite number one translation. But it's definitely in my top three. I've read it several times this year already. (Though to be fair, both, I believe were projects started in November or December of 2022. They just happened to finish in 2023.)

I do recommend this translation. ( )

Absolutely love this translation! ( )

Way too dense, and weirdly religious for some reason?
