NIV bible

• New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society).
• The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available.
• Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English. The Bible engages people with God's word so that their lives are transformed through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
