The English Standard Version of the Bible is an "essentially literal," word-for-word style translation into English to the extent possible, as opposed to a functional translation that attempts to convey meaning rather than specific terms.[1] In other words, the English Standard Version strives for formal equivalence more than functional equivalence, although idioms and other passages always require some functional considerations.
