THE HOLY BIBLE, EASY-TO-READ VERSION (ERV)
Produced by the World Bible Translation Center and published by the Bible League International, the ERV uses simpler vocabulary and shorter sentences to make it easier to understand and is ideal for those using English as a second language, as well as others who find the more formal language of many versions of the Bible difficult to follow.
The ERV is available in many languages at the Bible League International site here, and we are very happy to make the English language version available on this site. Despite its simplicity of style, the ERV is a carefully translated version that utilizes recent advances in biblical scholarship and follows a reasonable balance between word-for-word and thought-for-thought approaches.
The ERV Bible includes helpful footnotes and an overview of biblical history and the flow of the biblical narrative that will be useful for many without a lot of previous experience in Bible reading. The .pdf version has links to all the books of the Bible, and the .epub and .mobi versions also have individual chapter links for each biblical book.

*Note: These are large files – .pdf 10.3 MB, .mobi 10.8 MB, .epub 2.06 MB.
