The New English Translation (NET Bible), First Edition is a newcomer in the field of recently published Bibles. What set this version apart from many others are the clear, modern language that it is written in and the wealth of information that it is packed in this edition. There are over 60,000 notes from the translators and over 700 references to other works that serve as powerful tools and essential aids for in-depth, biblical study.
A good example of this can be found in the translator notes of Acts 2: 38:
The verb is a third person imperative, but the common translation “let each of you be baptized” obscures the imperative force in English, since it sounds more like a permissive (“each of you may be baptized”) to the average English reader.
The translators strive to clear up any doubt or confusion that the average reader may come across. Translators’ notes may also include the Greek, Hebrew or Aramaic meanings and their text in their native tongue. Their direct and detailed explanations provide deeper meaning to the scriptures. The writing flows clearly and elegantly.
