Our “Official Translation” of the Bible

There is no official translation of the bible in English. The Orthodox Study bible published by Thomas Nelson is the New King James Version. An Old Testament version from the Septuagint is now in the process of being translated. For all matters of faith the Orthodox Church would only refer to the original Greek of the New Testament and the Septuagint Greek version of the Old Testament. The bible search uses the American Standard version which is a revision of the 1611AD King James version.
