	Genesis 1:1–3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. John 3:16 For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

The Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a translation of the Bible in contemporary English. Published by Holman Bible Publishers in 2017 as the successor to the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), the CSB "incorporates advances in biblical scholarship and input from Bible scholars, pastors, and readers to sharpen both accuracy and readability."^[3] The CSB relies on recently published critical editions of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts.

Work on the CSB was completed in June 2016, with the first full edition released in March 2017.^[4]
