    Where does the NLT fall in your priority list of Bibles? Only the top few show.

    See quote with accurate information below:

    Translations

    The FSB notes are based on the underlying original languages of the Bible; therefore, they’re compatible with several of the most popular English translations. All translations other than the LEB are sold separately.

    • Lexham English Bible (LEB)
    • English Standard Version (ESV)
    • King James Version (KJV)
    • New King James Version (NKJV)
    • New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
    • New American Standard Bible: 1995 Update (NASB95)
    • New International Version (NIV 2011)

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    The NLT is not a supported translation in the sense that the bold text in the FSB notes will not change to use the NLT's phrasing.  Supported translations where the FSB notes *will* correspond are listed here: https://faithlifebible.com/features

    You can still use any Bible but only those listed at the link above will be available under the Bibles panel.

    I imagine that how paraphrastic the NLT is makes it hard for their verse fragment algorithm to work.

    Hmm ok I understand.

    still kind of odd since fsb allows you to use whatever translation you want and follows along nicely. I would expect when there's a section of resources called "bibles" that my bibles would be in there lol

    I'm not sure what you mean as I seem to be limited to the list of Bibles ... I can't switch it to something outside the list. Have I misunderstood you?

    Oh I'm so sorry.. I was doing two things at once and didn't post clearly. I'm referring to thefaithlife study bible app not the fsb in logos. Apologies for the confusion everyone

    Any plans for expanding the choice of Bible versions available to include the Message or the Complete Jewish Bible?

    It appears that the supported versions have reverse-interlinears available to do the alignmnet. So I doubt that either the Message or the Complete Jewish Bible are on the horizon.

    It's kind of sad in a way when you buy the flagship Bible software and your Bible isn't cool enough to be on the list lol.

    your Bible isn't cool enough to be on the list

    Actually, you can look at your Bible text and tell if is especially difficult to align to the original language. The more difficult to align, the more expensive it is to create a reverse interlinear and the larger the user base required to support it.
