Translations may be classified as either conservative or liberal depending on how they present these passages. The [[King James Version]] (1611), the [[New International Version]] (1978) and the [[English Standard Version]] (2001) use ''sensus plenior''. The [[Revised Standard Version]] (1952) and the [[New Revised Standard Version]] (1989) ignored New Testament interpretations and translated Hebrew text from a Jewish perspective.

{{bibleverse||Isaiah|7:14|ESV}} is interpreted in {{bibleverse||Matthew|1:21-23|ESV}}, {{bibleverse|Genesis|22:17|ESV}} in {{bibleverse|2|Corinthians|8:15|ESV}}, and {{bibleverse||Psalm|45:6|ESV}} in {{bibleverse||Hebrews|1:8-9|ESV}}. The authors of the New Testament were generally more familiar with the [[Septuagint]], a Greek translation of the Old Testament, than with the Hebrew original.  

NRSV is the Bible translation preferred in secular and academic study. However, it is rarely used by Christians. Like NRSV, ESV (2001) is a revision of RSV. It was made by Christian scholars for use by Evangelicals.

There is more than one text for the Septuagint, and the text Brenton used is not the best available. Paul's reading of God's promise to Abraham is from a different Greek text.

RSV translated {{bibleverse||Psalm|45:6}} as "Your divine throne endures for ever and ever." Paul's reading of God's promise to Abraham is from a different Septuagint text than the translation given above.
