NEW REVISED STANDARD VERSION UPDATED EDITION (NRSVUE)
Our church is switching to NRSVUE and would add to the request list for that translation.
Thanks,
Mark Wismer
Thank you! You've been added to the NRSVUE request list.
I'd like to be added to the list of churches requesting the NRSVUE.
Thanks so much, James. You're request has been added!
Adding my support for NRSVUE. For PCUSA it is the preferred translation. Would be great to have it included.
Thanks for your question, Stanley. I understand it may seem like a simple request on the surface, but integrating a new Bible translation like the NSRVue is actually a complex process. It involves more than just getting a file and plugging it in.
First, we have to secure proper licensing from the publisher, which often requires extended back-and-forth communication, legal agreements, and sometimes fees. Then on the technical side, each Bible translation has its own formatting, verse mapping, and unique data structure, which takes time to integrate accurately into EasyWorship. It also has to be tested thoroughly to ensure it works seamlessly across our entire platform.
Right now, all of our development resources are fully committed to the upcoming release of a completely new version of EasyWorship. This is a major project and one we know our users are excited about, as it will bring substantial improvements to performance, features, and long-term sustainability.
That said, we do recognize how essential access to scripture is for our users, and it continues to be part of our ongoing internal discussions and planning. We genuinely appreciate your passion for the NSRVue and your patience as we work to balance current commitments with future needs.
When can we accept Easy Worship 8 to be released? and what is so complicated about getting the rights to add the NSRVue?
Yes, please update to include the NRSVue.
We also would like to have the NRSVue as soon as possible. Sundays & Seasons (which we use for planning) will be discontinuing access to the NRSV on 6/30/25, effectively forcing us to switch to NRSVue for worship. Not having it available in EasyWorship is going to complicate things considerably.
We are using NRSVue in service and would appreciate the updated version on Easy Worship. Until I started searching for it I did not even realize that this forum was out there so there are probably quite a few other churches interested in using this version but just see you don't offer it.
Adding one more to the list for interest in NSRVue. Thanks.(Just a note to say that I see Leslie's note 22 days prior to my posting here with a recent explanation).
Also, I'd like to suggest that the next email to all customers include references to this forum for requesting Bibles, as well as the feature additions and bug notes forums. I doubt that the majority of users know that these feedback opportunities exist. I think you would get more (and valuable) feedback with some promotion of these channels. Thank you.

There seems to be a new version of NRSV. The following is what we found on Bible Gateway. Not sure what are all the differences with NRSV and this one.
