GOSPEL OF MARK SAMPLER

® “Then he said to me, ‘These words are faithful and true.’”

Revelation 22:6a, Christian Standard Bible FAITHFUL AND TRUE.

These words describe God’s Word (Rev. 22:6). As a Christian leader, you want to be “faithful” and “true” to the Word that reveals God’s character and transforms lives.

At LifeWay, we share your commitment to God’s Word, and that is why we are delighted to present you with the Gospel of Mark in the new Christian Standard Bible (CSB), a translation that combines accuracy and readability, without compromise.

The Christian Standard Bible was developed by a team of top biblical scholars from a variety of conservative denominations. As you will see, they have delivered a translation that hits the sweet spot of that balance between fidelity and readability.

The Gospel of Mark was my first encounter with the Christian Standard Bible. When I began reading through this Gospel, I hoped to experience afresh the good news of Jesus through a translation that communicates ancient truths to a contemporary audience as faithfully and clearly as possible. I wasn’t disappointed.

By the time I had finished the first chapter, I was already excited to see how the CSB captured the urgent feel of Mark’s narrative. As I read further, I loved seeing how the translation opted for a word-for-word rendering wherever the text was clearly “Then he said to me, understandable, while also employing a more dynamic translation wherever a word- ‘These words are faithful and true.’” for-word approach would obscure the original meaning. As a pastor, I have grown confident in the CSB’s accuracy and precision. It is a text I can use for sermon preparation and serious Bible study. Revelation 22:6a, Christian Standard Bible I am also confident in the CSB’s readability. Because it is clear and easy to read, I can share it with people who are new to the Word of God as well as those who are already regular Bible readers.

We are excited to introduce you to the new Christian Standard Bible. As fellow servants of Christ, we stand together with you, trusting that the faithful and true Word of God still changes lives and still empowers God’s people to fulfill their mission.
