English Standard Version

 

 Editions 

 

Recommendation: 

Despite the myriad editions, the textual content varies little from the point of view of bible study.  I recommend the Deluxe Reference edition because of the large font size, larger concordance and verse cross-references.  The Large Print editions have a larger font but a smaller concordance and no cross-references.
