In this insightful discussion, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries answers a question about the 2025 updates made to the ESV Bible translation. Pastor Mike explains why translation revisions are normal, how textual variants work, and why these changes should not shake our confidence in Scripture. He reminds listeners that English continually evolves, while the original Hebrew and Greek do not—meaning revisions are simply part of maintaining accuracy and clarity for each generation. Pastor Mike also discusses why no translation should be treated as untouchable, and why comparing multiple translations is a wise approach for serious Bible study.
