“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God.”
John 1:1
The Word Unchanged
Why the Septuagint Matters
What Modern Bibles Use
The ESV, NIV, and KJV have overwritten parts of the original Old Testament with a much newer manuscript, the Masoretic text, finalized centuries after the birth, life, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Every Christian should be asking: why was the Bible that Jesus read aloud in the temple, that the apostles quoted throughout the New Testament, not sufficient for us? Why did we replace it with a text compiled centuries later in collaboration with those outside the faith?
What the Apostles Used
The New Testament quotes the Septuagint directly, the Greek translation completed around 200 BC. This is the scripture Jesus read aloud in the synagogue and the temple. This is what Paul preached from across the ancient world. The apostles spoke Aramaic and Greek, not Hebrew. The Septuagint was their Bible. Sovereign Logos exists to educate Christians and restore it to its rightful place. It is time for Christians to return to the text that was always theirs.

We believe the ESV and NIV are more readable, but Crossway and Biblica have paywalled God's Word behind copyright licensing. The KJV stands because Scripture should be free.
