The New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) Bible . . .

is available free online at the Oremus Bible Browser. Here, you can look up specific passages by chapter and verse just to read or to copy and paste to a text document if you wish to print them out. In addition, there is a Concordance where you can search certain books of the Bible or the entire Bible for a particular word, name or phrase in order to find those passages where that word, name or phrase appear.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the home page to the section titled Information on Bible Versions and click on NRSV, you will find background information on the origin of the NRSV, the books of the Apocrypha and more. If you wish to reprint large sections of the Bible, under the Permission link, you will find details of their notice of copywrite and how much can be reprinted without written permission.


The Message Bible, translated by Eugene Peterson . . .

is available free online at BibleGateway.com. There are also many other Bible translations available by selecting one from the dropdown menu section at the top of the page. Copywrite information is shown at the bottom of the page for the passage that has been looked up.

This is a large site with many other features that are well worth exploring.
