Why is the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) so effective? It's a combination of factors, but most importantly it's its commitment to translation accuracy. Our goal is to make sure you can trust the translation and that the text is accurate. With the LSB you can trust the translation because its accuracy is transparent, and it preserves the original text. The LSB translates each word as it appears in the text, rather than as a word in its own right, which allows you to easily grasp the original meaning. This does not mean the translations are not accurate. The LSB is faithful to the original text, just like a word-for-word translation.
