American Standard Version

The American Standard Version of 1901 is based on the Revised Version Bible, a collaborated revision by dozens of British and America scholars in the 1880s. The text is an update of the KJV, with more modern spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called “The rock of Biblical honesty, ” although it never surpassed the KJV in popularity of use. A notable change from the KJV is reference to God as “Jehovah ” instead of the traditional “Lord.”
