Requests, corrections, comments should be addressed to:

The ELV text may be quoted up to and inclusive of one thousand (1000) verses without express permission of the author, provided that the verses quoted do not amount to a complete book of the Bible nor do the quoted verses account for 50 percent or more of the total text of the work in which they are quoted.

Notice of copyright must appear as follows on the title page or copyright page of printed works quoting from the ELV, or in a corresponding location when the ELV is quoted in other media:

When more than one translation is quoted in printed works or other media, the foregoing notice of copyright should begin as follows:

“Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are from...[etc.]”; or, “Scripture quotations marked (ELV) are from...[etc.].”

When quotations from the ELV are used in non-saleable media, a complete copyright notice is not required, but the initials (ELV) must appear at the end of the quotation. Publication of any commentary or other Bible reference work produced for commercial sale that uses the Essentially Literal Version (ELV) must include written permission for use of the ELV text. Permission requests that exceed the above guidelines must be directed to [email protected].
