A World of New Understanding!
Unlike other versions of the New Testament, this translation uses as many English words as are necessary to bring out the richness, force, and clarity of the Greek Text. The Greek New Testament is full of drama, stark contrasts, action, rebukes, and abrupt exclamation, but standard versions don't fully convey them. This carefully researched translation pays close attention to the original style and force, sentence structure, and verb tense meanings. It succeeds in bringing out the richness and clarity of the Greek.
Wuest’s version conveys the richness of the Greek language in several important categories: word order, word meaning, distinctions between Greek synonyms, the special force of the Greek negative, the type of action expressed by the Greek verbs, the presence or absence of the Greek article, the distinctions between hypothetical and fulfilled conditions, and the precise meaning of commonly transliterated words. All of these are aspects of the original language that are difficult to render in English. For example:
| NKJV | Wuest |
|---|---|
| And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. | And stop assuming an outward expression that does not come from within you and is not representative of what you are in your inner being but is patterned after this age; but change your outward expression to one that comes from within and is representative of your inner being, by the renewing of your mind, resulting in your putting to the test what is the will of God, the good and well-pleasing and complete will, and having found that it meets specifications, place your approval upon it. |
NOTE: Paragraph divisions are used to help the reader interpret each verse within its context. Thus the conventional chapter and verse numberings are given at the beginning of a paragraph in a range format.
Kenneth S. Wuest was professor of New Testament Greek at Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Illinois, until his death in 1962. His other works include the three-volume Word Studies in the Greek New Testament.

A must for the Christian library
(5/16/2023)
Reviewed by (Moshe D., Daleville, VA, US) - What we have in most translations is the absence of the verb tense. We say "whoever believes" when we should say "whoever is believing right now". This can make a great difference. Wuest took care of this. When you read your favorite translation, you MUST have this open next to it as you consider the passage you are reading. Lest you be robbed of the tense.

I highly recommend this small fee to increase the size of one's bible-study program.
I have used e-Sword from its inception and it is developing to be the very best Android Bible-study program, and it is FREE! I have purchased several add-ons to make it an excellent tool for helping other Christians read God Word. Now, I can project my devices onto my 52inch TV screen to be used for teaching a Bible-Study class in my home, starting in January 2022.
The Covid pandemic and e-Sword has been a double-blessing for me, allowing me to read and study every verse of the New Testament and most of the Old Testament, as well.

The combination while insightful and informative was not what I had expected. Had I done more research I likely would not have made this purchase. But since I have, it is good to have another translation available for comparison. The word studies are more commentary, but that's fine; they'll come in handy I'm sure for the moments where applicable. The translation is a bit of a merger between the Amplified and the Message. It is by no means bad, just not what I was expecting, and that's okay.

For the Greekless student
(2/9/2017)
Reviewed by (Joan Korte, Newport, MI, US) - Wuest was a professor of New Testament at Moody Bible Institute. His expanded translation and also word studies (commentary) are readable and easily comprehended by the student who does not know Greek. If you have tried to learn Greek and failed, get Wuest's resources. And if you know Greek, get Wuest's resources. He does the heavy lifting for you as he explains the different senses of words and also verb tenses. My only regret is that he did not do the entire New Testament. I have these in e-sword and also on another Bible study platform so I have paid twice for them. Just get them for e-sword as they are less expensive and easier to use. Often as I have studied and had my own ideas, Wuest's comments have been confirmation for me, keeping me on track. Many thanks to Estudysource for including them as premium modules!
A forerunner of the NLT?
(2/9/2017)
Reviewed by (Paul Woods, BURGESS HILL, WEST SUSSEX, England) - This is a very readable book. I am hesitant to make a distinction between translation or paraphrase, but in view of the companion book being "Word Studies in the Greek New Testament", translation may be the more appropriate word to adopt. The presentation is in the form of verses grouped together to present their meaning in a more readable way (hence the comparison to the NLT, which is 'designed' to be read aloud) This book makes reading aloud easier as well.

God is Good and Timing is Means So Much

Reviewed by (John Lewis, Ontario, CA, US) -
I received this wonderful New Testament earlier this month, as part of The Wuest New Testament Studies Bundle. God is good because a thought popped in my head to go check this website for this specific New Testament, and I found it was on sale. In fact, I just checked, and it is still on sale. I thank God for His blessings. Wuest really did a great work for those of us not so familiar with the Greek language. I did find one thing that I cannot agree with Wuest about, and that is what he labels as the sin nature. Jesus has built His church on His identity. So then, I have not gone through this entire New Testament or the other resources included in the bundle, but thus far I have found it very useful, and I thank God for it because I wanted it so very much. I gave my hard copies to a believer some years ago, and I desired so much to have this New Testament again. God is good! Thank you for offering this resource, and thank you for making the bundle available. I thank God that He has blessed you!

Re Wuest's Expanded Translation
(1/22/2016)
Reviewed by (Bob Meyers, East Wenatchee, Wa, US) - I was initially attracted to Wuest from a study of his 2 Thess. 2:1-3, where he, and he alone, I believe, gives the correct understanding (out of at least 20 Bibles I have) of 2:3. That verse is the clearest presentation of the Pre-Tribulation Rapture Truth in the Bible, IMO. And therefore almost every other translation destroys it by making ho apostasia mean "a falling away" or a rebellion.
But generally, it's a lot of work to study Wuest; and I have some doubts here and there as to whether he's right. His opinion certainly becomes involved to a great extent.

Kenneth Wuest has done Christendom a great service by producing this work.

Fresh translation (for me)
(10/29/2014)
Reviewed by (Leonard Mercer, Parrish, FL, US) - I always enjoy finding a "fresh" translation (not "transliteration") of scripture. I am reading Wuest for writing Bible studies. I use NAS and YLT so a "new" presentation (since I don't speak Greek!) opens new opportunities for the Holy Spirit to inform you of God's word. It gets you "out of a rut", so to speak, to think and express ideas in a new way. For example, where NAS say "...walk in the Spirit..", Wuest says "What are your spheres of influence?" I really enjoyed this "new perspective", especially in our "knowledge culture" where influences are coming from many different directions. Anyway, I love this translation!
Wuest Word Studies
(10/9/2014)
Reviewed by (Mike Ronk, Belton, TX, US) -
Wuest Word Studies and its companion, The New Testament: An Expanded Translation are two resources that every Bible student should consider, especially if not skilled in Greek. For example, John 21:15-17 makes no sense without recognizing that the word “love” Jesus is using is NOT the same word Peter is using. Wuest clarifies those words for the reader and the passage comes alive. Here it is: John 21:15 Wuest (15-19) “Then when they had breakfasted, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, do you have a love for me called out of your heart by my preciousness to you, a devotional love that impels you to sacrifice yourself for me? Do you consider me more precious and thus love me more than these ? He says to Him, Yes, Lord, as for you, you know positively that I have an emotional fondness for you. He says to him, Be feeding my little lambs. He says to him again a second time, Simon, son of Jonas, do you have a devotional love for me called out of your heart by my preciousness to you, a love that impels you to sacrifice yourself for me? He says to Him, Yes, Lord. As for you, you know positively that I have a friendly feeling for you. He says to him, Be shepherding my sheep. He says to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, do you have a friendly feeling and affection for me? Peter was grieved that He said to him the third time, Do you have a friendly feeling and affection for me? And he said to Him, Lord, as for you, all things you know positively. "You know from experience that I have a friendly feeling and affection for you. Jesus says to him, Be feeding my sheep. Most assuredly, I am saying to you, When you were younger, you were accustomed to clothe yourself and to walk where you were desiring to walk. But when you grow old, you shall stretch out your hands, and another shall bind you around and carry you where you do not desire. And this He said, indicating by what kind of death he will glorify God. And having said this, He says to him, Be following with me.” WUEST IS WORTH SO MUCH MORE THAN IT COSTS—IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD.

What the Greek really says
(7/7/2014)
Reviewed by (John Steele, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - I only realized after I bought it that the Wuest translation is what I've been wanting to have for years, now. Yet, Both literal and dynamic equivalent translations have to choose elements of meaning to leave out of the text, for the sake of readability. The amplified version was a great discovery, because it included all the nuances of the original Greek, though at the expense of readability, and with a lot of interpretations not directly implied from the text (the part very usefully segregated with square brackets) which said much more about what the church has done with the meaning of the text, then what the text actually says. I find in the Wuest translation a better balance. It includes what the Greek text says with a willingness to sacrifice a little bit of readability for the full nuance, without crossing the line into personal interpretation, and that is tremendously valuable to me. I'm going to be reading this translation a lot.

A Fresh Commentary
(4/15/2014)
Reviewed by (Byron Logman, Richland, Washington, US) - Am extremely pleased with the Wuest New Testament and Overall Bible commentaries. It is a fresh and welcome view of of the Bible, together with historical and cultural insights. These insights - both for Israel and also the interaction with other nations - serve to point out the similarities and differences resulting from different world views.
This said, at times the commentary seems to project a viewpoint which is secular, not projecting God as the Author and the Inspiration of each and every passage. Though I agree the authors of the commentary must remain neutral and objective, at times I personally sense that God is put into the position of choosing the "best" practices for His chosen people from other nations' philosophies and religious practices.
Bottom Line = Let him who utilizes this very good resource do so with understanding and wisdom. I highly recommend this resource to those who are both diligent and careful in their studies of God's Word.

The tense, voice and mood are right on the money, and I have been studying and translating Greek for the last seven years. It is a "must have" if you want to read what Christians read in the centuries following our Lord's death! I have a paperback version handed down to me from my dad, and now having it at my fingertips on e-sword is fantastic.

Reviewed by (Andy Dell, Richmond, Ontario, Canada) - I heard lots about the Wuest translation as a must have, but was disappointed with the deliverance, the Greek source text used in translation.
Firstly let me say, I am sure there are good things in the translation (haven't read all of it) and it would be a good commentary on some verses. However there are a couple of obstacles I had to overcome.
It isn't clean search verse by verse like most of eswords features but comes in 5-11 verse increments e.g. if you look up Rom. 9:33 you will get Rom 9:30 and read through to get 33. So you can't really compare side by side like other versions.
If you detest the Critical Text as a source Greek text for translation then this isn't a version you would want. I only discovered that after reading some verses missing - echoed in "Lamp in the Dark" documentary.
Spectacular!

Reviewed by (Keijo Airaksinen, Kuopio, Kuopio, Finland) - I am not native english speaking person, so it is difficult to get all the nyances in written text. I think so that this text serves better for those who are native english speaking folks. Anyway I prefer a lot of eStudySources very affordable version of this item, because other Bible software companies has priced this item quite expensive.
Amazing Resource

I even made a bold step to buy an iphone for this cause which is very costly in my country. Thru' WUEST study, the interpretations have come alive in my life. I thank God for e-sword, may God bless the team.

Clear Expansion of Text
(5/8/2013)
Reviewed by (Norman Manzon, Kailua Kona, Hawaii, US) - Dr. Wuest's expansion of the text is very clear. However, as a non-Greek scholar, I have no way of judging on that basis. Nevertheless, I have heard from a source I trust very highly that anything that comes out of Moody Bible Institute is good, and Dr. Wuest was a professor at Moody, so I trust his rendering.
