The New International Version® Bible 2011 (NIV)
The NIV has become the best-selling English version of the Bible since the King James Version. The NIV follows the principle of "dynamic equivalence" to ensure crystal clear understandable English. The NIV may be the most readable English Bible ever produced.
"All the changes in the updated text are attributable to...the following reasons: changes in English, progress in scholarship and concern for clarity (See Translators’ Notes: Updating the NIV for 2011). As part of the process of revision for 2011, the CBT reviewed and reconsidered every single change introduced into the TNIV relating to inclusive language. Some changes were preserved, some were rescinded in favor of the 1984 rendering, and many were re-worded in a third, still different way." Biblica.com
The New International Reader's Version® Bible (NIrV)
The NIrV was developed to enable early readers to understand God's message. The NIrV was designed to make the Bible clear and understandable to any reader and can be read by a typical fourth grader. For this reason, it is also of value to the millions for whom English is a second language. It is distinguished by five fundamental characteristics—readability, understandability, compatibility with the NIV, reliability, and trustworthiness. It serves as a natural stepping-stone to the NIV when the time is right.
Runs on e-Sword PC, Android, X for Mac®, HD for iPad®, and LT for iPhone®. These links show system requirements for using e-Sword software on your device. Recent versions of e-Sword are required in order to install and use e-Sword modules purchased from eStudySource.com.

One of the things is the cross referencing, I can easily go to any part of the Bible, to check what is says. Having additional versions of the Bible, make a lot of things clearer. Looking at my NIV, is helping very much.
Thank you so much.

My Review
(1/2/2023)
Reviewed by (Richard McGurk, Myrtle Beach, SC, US) - The actual downloading of the product was a bit stressful but that was the only negative that I bring to this review. I started with the NKJV and this version makes it easier to read for the beginner like myself. The words flow and the message is clear. In my church the Pastor uses the NKJV and I can still follow along with ease because it is saying the same thing only in more modern English. Now that I am comfortable with e-sword the resources are extremely helpful. I would recommend it to anyone who reads “His Word” you will not be disappointed.

Review of NIV
(4/15/2022)
Reviewed by (Wade Steers, St Thomas, ON, Canada) - I began using NIV about 1988 when there wasn't a One Year
Bible for KJV. My copy was a plain NIV One year Bible.
I tried to read it faithfully and also comparatvely with the KJV. It was soon discovered that it was too thick for my briefcase so I had a printer half it and had a smaller one for the case. Recently I made a bundle purchase and I enjoy especially for comparative word studies using my cell phone. For readers' forsake I add that I use Mounce's NIV Interlinear for word studies as well.
Handy Study Tool
(4/9/2022)
Reviewed by (Bro Bob, Houston, Texas, US) - I bought this package to use with my e-Sword Bible study materials. It gives me a more modern translation to compare with some of the older Bibles contained in e-Sword. I am not really using the NirV, but it was included in the package at no additional charge, so no complaints! It integrates flawlessly with the existing content in e-Sword. BTW I've been using e-Sword for many years. It is a fantastic program. Rick Meyers has done a wonderful job of authoring the program and keeping it up to date.

(2/2/2021)
Reviewed by (Christoff Greyling, Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa) - I missed the NIV from my selection of e-Sword Bibles and because e-Sword after all these years is still the e-Bible that works the best for me, I decided to purchase the NIV version.
That it came with the NIrV just made up my mind for me. In a lot of cases the NIrV is just clearer in its way it express the message, especially for someone who's mother tongue is not English. Even while I have the e-Sword Bible in my own language as well I prefer to use the English versions as it gives me a better understanding between the various versions.
So, yes I am more than happy and use it almost every day.
The only disappointment is that e-Sword is not available in Android. That would have been great as I like to use my Android tablet while having my quiet time/bible study time
Thanks again for an excellent tool.

Christoff

Why NIV?
(10/19/2019)
Reviewed by (Randy Olm, Priest River, Idaho, US) - An NIV study bible was given to me by my wife when I first started my walk with Jesus. It is quit ragged, worn and all marked up. At some point I wanted a new... more accurate bible so I started to collect other versions to study. I now have a small lap top computer on which I installed e-Sword to have a portable/searchable bible. I had forgotten how much God taught me through the NIV so I down loaded the NIV and have it along side the KJV to compare to hopefully gain a bit of clarity as to what God is telling me. If e-Sword would offer the Christian Standard Bible I would download that and consider my collection of Bible's complete.

I discovered the NIV is a revision of the International Standard Version (ISV)published by Zondervan Press. It is a very good English translation and a very close match to the Geneva Bible of 1560, which was the foundation of the King James of 1611.

Overall I believe it is a sound translation that will assist you to better understand God's Word.

Reviewed by (Christopher Steggles, Eastleigh, Hampshire, United Kingdom) - NIV excellent, but made unnecessarily expensive because it is bundled with NIrV - NIrV not much use to me personally as part of a study tool.

Reviewed by (Harry Denham, Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand) - I have been using the NIV translation of the Bible for many years and am most grateful for the addition of the valuable resource to my copy of eSword. The add-in of the NIV Bible is just what I need to do preparation of sermons and children's talks at our church. The older translations are useful only occasionally. I memorised as a boy from King James so refer to that as needed. I thoroughly recommend this add-in and version of the Bible.

2011 Changes Ruined It
(2/9/2017)
Reviewed by (Buddy Brinkley, Aiken, SC, US) - This used to be my favorite translation. Unfortunately, the revised edition released in 2011 made significant changes to introduce "gender inclusive" language not in the original texts. This has resulted in a version that is less readable and significantly weaker. Do a search on "NIV 2011 changes" and you can see for yourself. Unfortunately, Biblica chose not to make the 1984 version available anymore, so the real NIV is now just a memory.

As a member of Trinity Baptist Church in SCC, Fl., I was asked to create a one-on-one Bible Study class for new "born-again" believers. Since our church uses the New International version of the Bible I felt it would be easier to acquire that version of your books and cut-and-paste scriptures rather than type them by hand.
I must say, using e-Sword in the development of my course material was a Godsend. It was very easy to navigate and the nominal charge of $25.00 was well worth the time and energy saved.
Thank-you for this wonderful ministry and God bless you and yours.

NIV 2011 Bundle: NIV and NIrV for e-Sword
(4/15/2014)
Reviewed by (Byron Flint, Cedar Rapids, IA, US) - Of the easy to understand, modern English versions of the Bible, NIV is without any dispute, the absolute least acurate of all. It is only because it is so popular, and widely used that I have it at all, and even then, I always compare it very carefully against other versions of the Bible. However, there are times and places in which it does translate more vividly, and/or more accurately then most of the other versions, so having NIV along with several other versions is handy for comparison study, but I would never recomend anyone to ever use NIV as their only, or main version of the Bible.
This is by no means any kind of reflection on E-sword, for their products are all good resources, and E-sword didn't write the NIV, but it's good that it is offered with the other Bible versions, even though the version itself is an inferior script, E-sword offers it's features in this version as if it were no different then the best translations available.
Danger of the NIrV
(4/15/2014)
Reviewed by (Natan Schwenk, Spring City, Tennessee, United States) - The NIV was good; the NIrV is politically correct and should be avoided. God revealed himself as masculine and established male leadership; the 'translators' rejected this and therefore replaced the God-breathed words with their own 'gender-neutral' ones, thereby promoting the feminization of mankind. Thus they decided they knew better than God how His Word should read. Several other versions have done the same.

The need for understanding
(2/6/2013)
Reviewed by (Darrel Yontz, Albuquerque, NM, US) - The NIV offers a not only a modern translation that you can trust, but it is written where you can understand it. I don't think we should ever transliterate what God has said yet many times understanding is difficult. The NIV offers the simplest language and therefore offers insight into what God would have us know. In Romans 12:5 it says ..."and individually members of one another". NKJV but in NIV it says ..."each member belongs to all the others". You can see that the NIV offers an insight that the more formal translations force you to figure out. This is an excellent Bible for all but especially for the new student.

(4/3/2012)
Reviewed by (Bill Moore, Newburgh, Indiana, US) - I was grateful for the use of today's English to read the Bible. The begats of the KJV, for example, made Bible reading a real chore. Other translations (paraphrased, etc.) corrupt the meaning of Scripture, but they may be useful for witnessing. The more I read the NIV, the more I became aware of its interpretting Scripture instead of translating. An example of this is the changing of measurements from cubits to feet. Fortunately, they correctly translated the measurements of the Temple to cubits. It is not the unit of measure that is important but the number associated to them. This is merely an example.
A better translation is the NKJV.

e-Sword is a great help to my message presentation. I has used them for years in my ministry at different countries including Singapore, China, Thailand and Indonesia.
The Bible verses can easily copied and pasted into the Powerpoint presentation. I am so gald that the Bible verses in English, Chinese, Thai and Indonesian can be edited and presented without much problem.
In the South East Asian gospel outreach, foregin languages are commonly used. Even though we may not be competent in languages like Thai and Indonesian, the believers can read those verses through projection. What more, graphics have make the presentation more more impressive and interesting than anything else.
e-Sword is well designed to accomplish the task of putting various languages on the slide. Once the main message is completed, additional languages from e-Sword can edited switftly.
My experience in Thailand, the believers are very blessed with Thai Bible scripts. They are so readily read their scriptures from their Thai Bible, and absorb the truth effectively with visual aids from e-Sword.
So as Chinese and Indonesian presentations, I am so glad that the believers' spiritual life have grown with the aids of their own languages.
Thank you so much for devising such a powerful tool for the use of gospel presentation. May God bless your labor for the extension of His Kingdom in other part of the world.

I was looking for a parallel Bible that will help me to compare both versions. e-Sword has given me that option adding new meaning and joy to my Bible reading. I praise God for all those connected with the e-Sword for the fabulous facilities they are providing at almost no cost. The happiest moments of a day for me are those that I spend reading the Word of God, and e-Sword has contributed immensely to enhancing the quality time I spend with God. THANK YOU.
Great purchase

The NIV is one of those translations that is a "must have" for the scholar and the daily Bible reader. I was told by a professor at Judson College of Elgin, IL that it is "conceptually" one of the most accurate translations to English. I like the way it is very reverent, yet easy to understand. I have several of the translations purchased at this point and find myself using it quite frequently. I find myself in awe of these people who have sacrificed decades of their life so that another generation could peer into God's Word with clarity and confidence.
