LSB Translation Notes Available As In-Line Notes in your Bible!

The Master’s Seminary has announced that The Tyndale Center’s translation team, which oversaw the Legacy Standard Bible (LSB) Translation, is releasing translation notes for all 66 books of the Bible! As of now they have released Matthew-Romans. https://tyndale.tms.edu/

I have been compiling these notes into a Notebook Document and have decided to share them (inspired by what Wesley W. Weber Jr. did with the Westminster Confession of Faith).

To add this Notebook to your own documents: Select the Documents icon in the sidebar...select "Public"...search for "LSB Translation"...select "Add to your docs".

I will continue updating this document as The Tyndale Center releases additional books of the Bible.

This is awesome! Thanks so much!

My pleasure.

Thanks for combining them chapter by chapter looked a little much to handle.

Wesley W. Weber Jr.

I got a copy of this. Thank you.

Did you intentionally anchor it to the LSB instead of the verses themselves? Just wondering. If so, I will buy the LSB and try it.

Also, thank you for using Red 4-prong stars. . I am using yellow stars for the Westminster Shorter (in process), and another color when I do the Larger.

Blessings!

Wes.

Another quick comment on the notes:

When using dark mode (using dark mode can extend your laptop battery usage by ~10%), the text links are kind of hard to see. It is fine, they are still visible... but the color of the link is different than what the Westminster Confession In Line Notes defaulted to (see attached image).

Blessings, and thanks again for this. I got a copy of the LSB.

Interesting. This is how my links look in dark mode.

Wesley W. Weber Jr.

Interesting. These are how my links look in dark mode.

Now, when I look at the same note, it is working... notice how hovering over the verse, Logos is now linking the verse to my ESV.

But for Mark 15:35, it is linking the text link to biblia.com. It looks like when it detects an external link it is black, but if it links to a resource it is the light blue color. See attached.

Wesley W. Weber Jr.

As soon as you updated the note (I happened to be clicked on it and saw you update it real-time) it referenced my Bible resource and not Biblia.com, and is working perfectly now. Thank you!

.

That is cool that you could see the updates in real time! The strange thing is that they are working correctly on my end...so you and others will have to point out which ones don't work properly and I will fix.

Aaron, any idea what the Tyndale Center's translation team has in mind for these translation notes? I wonder if they would eventually monetize them, and release them onto Logos for purchase (as they did the LSB version) since they have the contents protected on their website under the heading:

Copyright © 2023 The Tyndale Center at The Master's Seminary. All rights reserved.

Unlike the Confession (which has long been in the public domain) these translation notes seem to be proprietary. I could be mistaken, but, if you haven't, it might be worth reaching out to them and letting them know that they are now available on Logos apart from the seminary's website.

Hopefully, they would be delighted, as there is a wealth of info in them.

Just a thought, and I appreciate the work you are doing here.

Wes Weber Jr.

Good suggestion. I just reached out to them.

I would advise to contact them seeking permission to do this- it may prevent any problems for you personally, and harm their relationship with Logos, just saying.

I have numerous PBB and Notebook study guides, with material that I received personal permission to create Logos material out of- but no privilege to distribute.

Yes agreed. I reached out just a bit ago.

Thank you. Hopefully Tynedale will be as pleased as we are that you have produced this [Y]

Good idea. Ask for grace and forgivness if needed.

I did not ask for grace and forgiveness but I did inform them that I have shared my compilation of their freely offered Translation Notes to Logos users....and have offered to take the notes document down if they wish for me to do so. I have not heard back from them yet.

Hopefully their response will be positive and you can continue.

Translation notes have been added for 1 & 2 Corinthians. I have also gone through and fixed any reference links that were not working properly.

I have repeatedly followed up with The Master's Seminary and The Tyndale Center regarding my request for official permission to share my compilation of their translation notes with Logos users and have only heard back from them as follows, "someone from The Tyndale Center will be reaching out to you shortly."

My source for compiling these translation notes can be found here.

Update: I have added translation notes for Matthew-Ephesians. [:)]

Any idea whether or not they plan to add the Old Testament translation notes?

Yes. They plan to release translation notes for all 66 books of the Bible.

Aaron,

I don't have the LSB and all of the notes are linking to it. I noted that Wesley Weber seems to have been able to get it to link to the ESV. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Chris

I am running Logos 10 and cannot get this to be added to my library even when I click add to your device is just simply will not add.

Thank you!

Update: I have added translation notes for Matthew – 2 Timothy. [:D]

Thanks!

Odd; Mine disappeared for some reason and I cannot re-add it. When I look it up in Logos it has an August date. I'll have to play with it later

Chadwick Whitley

Mine disappeared as well.

Curious as to if they are as well going to add the OT translation notes as well, and thank you for your work on this!

Just finished translation notes for the NT last night and have begun work on the OT. [:D]

Cool, thanks.

It's on the mobile as well. Thank you Aaron it is a great job.

Hi Aaron, Could you please tell me the lexicon you have used.I would like to purchase this Lexicon.

Hi Tes. The translation work is done by The Tyndale Group. See here. I am compiling their notes and making them available in Logos.

The notes are very clear and easy to understand. I would be very gald to purchase if it could be a single resource. I really appreciate my dear brother for the great job you have made. God bless you!

Aaron, thank you for this service. My students here in Europe told me about it. I tried to go to documents, public, search lsb, add to your documents.

It blinks like it is downloading for a second. But nothing downloads.

Any ideas?

Hi James. I am not sure. Maybe try other public documents and see if it is doing the same thing.

James K Brackett

Thanks Aaron, it did the same thing when I downloaded words of Christ in the LSB public document - but it turns out here's what I had to do

Go to documents.logos.com where the document was showing but as a private document with all the other notebooks that I have (seven I think). On the far right I had to pull down "Action" and click on make a private copy. When I did that - after a few minutes the notes 'magically' appeared. Thanks so much. Hope this is helpful to other if they face the same problem.

Weird that I had to go online to see my documents (documents.logos.com) when they didn't show up in my program.

Finally finished Genesis! I will get started on Exodus as soon as those notes are published.

Chadwick Whitley

Hi, Aaron. Out of the blue, I no longer see links to the LSB translation notes showing up in Bible texts. The notebook still shows as having been added to my library, but I cannot access the content. Any ideas as to what I might do to resolve?

Aaron, Thank you so very much for your work doing the Translation Notes, you can't imagine how appreciative we all are, me especially since the Legacy Standard Bible is my all time favorite go to version.God Bless You and your Loved ones.

Thanks for your kind words! I’m glad to hear they’ve been helpful, especially since you enjoy the Legacy Standard Bible so much—it’s my favorite translation too. I appreciate you taking the time to say this. Blessings to you as well!

They showed back up on their own. But I've been having sync issues across the platform, so I wonder if that has something to do with the fact that they went missing that one day? Weird. Thank you!

This was noted early on. Back in 2023, he reached out and informed them of what he is doing, asked for permission, and offered to take the notes down if objected to. I don't think he has heard back a definitive answer.

I contacted them multiple times in 2023 and was assured they’d follow up if there was a problem. Since I haven’t heard back, I’m assuming there’s no issue.

@Aaron Sauer they said they would follow up if there was a problem?

Aaron

You’ve been down this road before and done what you needed to do. These notes are freely available online and aren’t sold in any books. Even the LSB bit doesn’t contain these notes nor does the study bible.

I appreciate your work and thank you for it. If a Faithlife employee has concerns, I’m sure they still contact you privately.

Yes. Andy Kim at The Master's Seminary reached out to their Tyndale Center.

Thanks Mattillo. I really appreciate your kind words. If similar questions come up in the future, I'll just point people to my previous posts. Thanks again for your support!
