The English Sub-standard Version (ESV)

1. Here are your 17 memory verses for the day. These will only take you 1 nanosecond to memorize if you are using an ESV. (Mat 12:47; Mat 17:21; Mat 18:11; Mat 23:14; Mar 7:16; Mar 9:44; Mar 9:46; Mar 11:26; Mar 15:28; Luk 17:36; Luk 23:17; Joh 5:4; Act 8:37; Act 15:34; Act 24:7; Act 28:29; Rom 16:24)
2. The ESV has most of the common corruptions shared by most of the modern versions such as:

            Denial of the Trinity: (1Jo 5:7)

            “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.  (KJV)

            ” For there are three that testify:” (ESV)

            Denial of the deity of Christ.

            (1Ti 3:16)

            “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”  (KJV)

            “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He[a] was manifested in the flesh, vindicated[b] by the Spirit,[c] seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” (ESV)

            (Phi 2:6)

            “Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:” (KJV)

            “who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,” (ESV)

            (Eph 3:9)

            “And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:” (KJV)

            “and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in[a] God who created all things,” (ESV)

            Denial of the saving work of Christ.

            (Heb 1:3)

            “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;” (KJV)

            “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,” (ESV)

            (Col 1:14)

            “In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:” (KJV)

            “in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” (ESV)

            (Gal 2:16)

            “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.” (KJV)

            “yet we know that a person is not justified[a] by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.” (ESV)

            Attacks the word of God.

            (2Co 2:17)

            “For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.” (KJV)

            “For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.” (ESV)

            (Luk 4:4)

            “And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.” (KJV)

            “And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” (ESV)

            (Psa 12:6-7)

            “The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7)  Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” (KJV)

            “The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times. 7) You, O Lord, will keep them; you will guard us[a] from this generation forever.” (ESV)

            Lucifer is removed (Isa 14:12) – I wonder who inspired the ESV?

            “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!” (KJV)

            ““How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!” (ESV)

III. It has some new ones too such as:

            Mathew 19:9

            “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.” (KJV)

            “And I say to you: whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery.” (ESV)
