This document is being released as Version 4.4 Final Edition
of the ASV 1901 Edition
On this date May 04, 2008
This is my Forward and or Preface to this electronic version of the American Standard Version 1901
Bible. Due to manmade errors of electronic versions released on the web, this electronic version is verified
by a published version released by Star Bible Publications, Inc., Fort Worth, TX.
The Cover and Prefaces were furnished to me from scanned copies of a 1st Edition of the ASV1901. I
believe that these are also available on the Internet.
The main text of this bible was brought into this document through the following web site:
http://www.asv1901.com/.
Two things I decided to do that don’t follow the ASV 1901. In the footnotes, changes are as follows:
1. To give full book names instead of the abbreviations.
2. Converting the i, ii, iii, iv, etc…chapter numbering to its numerical value. This was mainly used in
the New Testament when a book chapter from the Old Testament was referenced.
Since the Apocrypha books were not part of the 1901 release, those books referenced in footnotes are
not spelled out. Was thinking of removing them from the footnotes, but left them there to keep the 1901
ASV intact.
My goal is to give to you a complete accurate version, word for word of the ASV1901 bible as humanly
possible. I believe by the grace of God that this final edition is a completed word for word of the ASV
1901. Being human there is still a margin or error, but i pray not.
Being that the copy write has expired on this edition and is part of public domain. I put this edition back
into public domain.
God Bless you and peace be with you,
Your Brother in Christ.

you.
If by any means that you make alterations to this edition. I make the only following request. That the
previous paragraph on feedback and my email address be removed. Or the complete removal of this page
Information at bottom of cover sheet can also be removed if you wish. If you keep the information on cover
sheet please note something different so it doesn’t get confused with this edition.

PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION
A few statements need to be made respecting the origin of this edition of the Revised
Version of the English Bible.
In the course of the joint labors of the English and American Revisers it was agreed that,
respecting all points of ultimate difference, the English Companies, who had had the
initiative in the work of revision, should have the decisive vote. But as an offset to this, it
was proposed on the British side that the American preferences should be published as an
Appendix in every copy of the Revised Bible during a term of fourteen years. The American
Committee on their part pledged themselves to give, for the same limited period, no
sanction to the publication of any other editions of the Revised Version than those issued by
the University Presses of England.
There still remained the possibility that the British Revisers, or the University Presses,
might eventually adopt in the English editions many, or the most, of the American
preferences, in case these should receive the approval of scholars and the general public.
But soon after the close of their work in 1885 the English Revision Companies disbanded;
and there has been no indication of an intention on the part of the Presses to amalgamate the
readings of the Appendix, either wholly or in part, with the text of the English editions.
The American Revision Committee, after the publication of the Revised Version in
1885, resolved to continue their organization, and have regarded it as a possibility that an
American recension of the English Revision might eventually be called for. Accordingly
they have been engaged more or less diligently, ever since 1885, and especially in the last
four years, in making ready for such a publication. The judgment of scholars, both in Great
Britain and in the United States, has so far approved the American preferences that it now
seems to be expedient to issue an edition of the Revised Version with those preferences
embodied in the text.
If the preparation of this new edition had consisted merely in the mechanical work of
transferring the readings of the Appendix to the text, it would have been a comparatively
easy task. But the work was in point of fact a much more elaborate one. The Appendix was
itself in need of revision; for it had been prepared under circumstances which rendered
fulness and accuracy almost impossible. This work could of course not be taken in hand
until the revision was concluded; and since it required a careful consideration of discussions
and decisions extending over a period of many years, there was need of many months’ time,
if the Appendix was to be satisfactorily constructed, especially as it was thought desirable to
reduce the number of recorded differences and this required the drawing of a sharp line
between the more and the less important. Manifestly such a task would be one of no little
difficulty at the best. But when the time came for it to be done, the University Presses
deemed that the impatient demand of the British public for the speedy publication of the
Revision must be respected; and they insisted on a prompt transmission of the Appendix.
Prepared under such pressure and in such haste, it was obviously inevitable that it should be
marked by grave imperfections; and the correction of its errors and the supplementing of its
defects has been a work of much time and labor.
