The English Standard Version of the Bible is an "essentially literal," word-for-word style translation into English to the extent possible, as opposed to a functional translation that attempts to convey meaning rather than specific terms.[1] In other words, the English Standard Version strives for formal equivalence more than functional equivalence, although idioms and other passages always require some functional considerations. In January 2009, Oxford University Press began printing an ESV translation with Apocrypha because of its growing popularity[2].
