Revised Standard Version (1973)
The Greek text of the New Testament according to the Nestle-
Aland 26th edition/UBS 3rd edition (N26) included as part of the

Pierce from a text conforming to that distributed by the

The Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia text (BHS) of the Hebrew Old
Testament was obtained from the CCAT and converted to the Online
Bible format. The original CCAT text has also been extensively
adapted, altered, proofed, and corrected by Maurice A. Robinson
and Larry Pierce for Online Bible purposes.
The Revised Standard Version (RSV) text of 1947 and 1973 was
obtained from the CCAT, and has been corrected and adapted to
the ONLINE BIBLE format by Larry Pierce.
