Pastors who preach regularly need a Bible translation they can trust—one that’s faithful to the original text and clear for today’s listeners. The New Living Translation was created with both in mind. It helps you communicate God’s Word with clarity, depth, and power from the pulpit.

The NLT is the best choice for those seeking a Bible that is

• Accurate: faithful to the original-language texts and designed for in-depth study
• Understandable: clear and accessible for all readers to engage with meaningfully
• Audibly Enjoyable: beautifully crafted for reading aloud, teaching, preaching, and memorizing

The NLT was translated by over 100 leading biblical scholars from the earliest and most reliable Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts, ensuring it remains one of the most accurate and clear translations available. Its natural, flowing style is ideal for personal and group Bible studies, classroom teaching, and preaching—and it resonates deeply when read aloud.
