Collection: New Living Translation Bibles

NLT is a great translation for clarity and ease of readability; considered a "thought to thought" translation. The goal of a “thought-for-thought” translation like the NLT is to consider how the original audience would have understood the text, and render the same thought to its current reader. This means that some of the structure may be altered to improve the flow of a sentence; a prepositional phrase that was at the beginning of a sentence may now be at the end of the sentence, and so forth.

Example of NLT translation: Luke 12:27-28

Think how the flowers grow. They do not work or make cloth. Yet, I tell you, that King Solomon in all his greatness was not dressed as well as one of these flowers. God puts these clothes on the grass of the field. The grass is in the field today and put into the fire tomorrow. How much more would He want to give you clothing? You have so little faith!
