The ISV® is a totally new work translated directly from the original languages of Scripture and derived from no other English translation. The ISV® was produced by Bible scholars who believe that "All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16 ISV) The ISV® takes advantage not only of the most ancient manuscripts available, but also of the most recent archaeological discoveries. The translators of the ISV® have selected the English equivalent that most closely reflects the meaning of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts.
