In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. | |
Today's New International Version (TNIV) is an English translation of the Bible which was developed by the International Bible Society based on the previous New International Version (NIV) originally published in 1978. It is explicitly Protestant like its predecessor; the deuterocanonical books are not part of this translation. The TNIV New Testament was published in March 2002. The complete Bible was published in February 2005. The rights to the text are owned by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). Zondervan published the TNIV in North America. Hodder & Stoughton published the TNIV in Europe.
A team of 13 translators worked on the translation, with forty additional scholars reviewing the translation work. The team was designed to be cross-denominational.
In 2011, sales of both the 1984 edition of the NIV and the TNIV were discontinued, following the release of a revised and updated version of the NIV.
