## What is Legacy Standard Bible?

The Legacy Standard Bible is available as a smartphone app for free!

The Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) is a translation that—at its core—seeks to be a window into the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. By translating individual words as consistently as possible within their various nuances, it allows the reader to discern what God originally wrote and know the author's intent. In this way, the LSB seeks to be an improvement upon the NASB, while simultaneously preserving its faithful legacy.

The LSB smartphone app features:

●      The complete Old and New Testaments

●      Brown-Driver-Briggs (abridged version) for Hebrew word definition

●      Abbott-Smith for Greek word definition

●      Search capability by lexical word

Be sure to register your account! The LSB app will be releasing more content for free, that can be accessed through registering your account with Accordance. We are also working on creating resource packages that will provide even more ability for in-depth study!
