Overview
This revised New Testament was prepared under the auspices of the American Bible Union, by the most competent scholars of the day. They followed these rules for the revision:
- The received Greek text, critically edited, with known errors corrected, must be followed
- The common English version must be the basis of revision, and only such alterations must be made as the exact meaning of the text and the existing state of the language may require.
- The exact meaning of the inspired text, as that text expressed it to those who understood the original Scriptures at the time they were first written, must be given in corresponding words and phrases, so far as they can be found in the English language, with the least possible obscurity or indefiniteness.
The American Bible Union published another revision in 1912. Both were widely used.
