As far as the ESV and the Internet is concerned, onernof the things I’ve been very encouraged about is the publisher srnwillingness to share it. If you’re a nonprofit organization, if you haverna website up, that wants to allow people to look at verses, thernpublisher’s been really good at giving free access to the ESV.rnIt’s encouraging because it is God’s Word. And while it costs arntremendous amount of money to produce a translation, the publisher doesrnunderstand that it is God’s Word and has done a wonderful job at makingrnit available for nonprofit websites.
