. A word about Bible translations. Since the Bible was originally written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, every passage you read in English or any other language comes from a translation. For this book, we’ve chosen mostly to use the Common English Bible. When we use another translation, we’ll add initials after the passage. That way, if you want to look it up, you’ll know which translation we’re using (or if you want to compare the same passage in different translations). Those initials include: ASV for the American Standard Version, CEV for the Contemporary English Version, CSB for the Christian Standard Bible, NIV for the New International Version, NLT for the New Living Translation, and NRSV for the New Revised Standard Version. Also, while we don’t include translations in Spanish, Korean, or other languages beyond English in this book, we encourage you to look up passages in your family’s first language as well!
