Free NLT Download on Apps

We are so grateful to our partners at Tyndale House Publishing for graciously providing us the opportunity to offer the New Living Translation (NLT) as a free download for our mobile app users. They have also given us the updated 2015 NLT text to feature on both our apps and website. According to the preface, "The translators of the New Living Translation set out to render the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English." Tyndale goes on to explain that the NLT blends a literal, word-for-word approach with thought-for-thought modern English.

To start reading, change the translation to NLT or download the Blue Letter Bible app from your device's app store. If you would like to learn more about the NLT and how to download it for free on our apps, you can read the full announcement on our blog.
