About the translation

What is the Legacy Standard Bible?

The Legacy Standard Bible is an English translation of the Bible, published in 2021 by The Lockman Foundation and managed in partnership with Three Sixteen Publishing. It continues the tradition of the New American Standard Bible with a careful, literal philosophy of translation.

The most distinctive choice in the LSB is the consistent rendering of the divine name as Yahweh wherever it appears in the Hebrew text, rather than the more common LORD. The translators also worked to preserve the wording of the original languages where earlier English Bibles smoothed it over.

Conform supports the LSB so readers who have chosen this translation can use it day to day - in Bible reading, memorization, prayer, and study - without leaving for another app. Learn more about the translation at LSBible.org.
