In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. But the earth became waste and emptiness, and darkness was on the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was brooding upon the surface of the waters. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone who believes into Him would not perish, but would have eternal life.

The Recovery Version is a study Bible. The primary translation of the Recovery Version is in English, and there are also partial and complete editions in other languages, including Chinese (恢復本), French (Version Recouvrement), German, Indonesian (Alkitab Versi Pemulihan), Japanese (回復訳), Korean (회복역 성경), Portuguese (Versão Restauração), Russian (Восстановительный перевод), Spanish (Versión Recobro), and Tagalog (Salin sa Pagbabawi). The Recovery Version New Testament with footnotes was first published in 1985, the Old Testament with study outlines was later published in 1999, and the entire Holy Bible with footnotes was published in 2003.

Translation

The Recovery Version embodies a multitude of decisions on the original form of the Greek text. Every major translation of the New Testament follows for the most part the accepted edition of the Greek text of its day, but no translation is expected to accept every decision of the Greek editions. Translators must grapple with the manuscript question to their own satisfaction. While the Recovery Version follows the Nestle-Aland 26th edition for the most part, it has departed here and there based on the study and consideration of the manuscripts by its translators. Thus, the Greek text underlying the Recovery Version is unique, even if it is quite close to the accepted scholastic edition of the day.[1]
