{{Blockquote
| text = Many of you know that I was the New Testament Chair of the ESV translation. This project has consumed thousands of hours, most of them enjoyable. I am happy with the ESV.{{Nbsp}}... I learned so much on the ESV, things I have never taught in any Greek class at any level.{{Nbsp}}... Here is my concern. I don't want anyone to think that I am unhappy with the ESV or that I am "jumping ship." I am not. I thoroughly enjoy reading and studying from the ESV. But if you have been reading this blog very long, you will know that I strongly believe in different translation philosophies, that there is not a "one-size-fits-all," and that the translator's responsibility is to be consistent with that stated philosophy.{{Nbsp}}... I am excited about being able to get back into translation work, but please do not read this as a reaction to the ESV. To do so would be wrong.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mounce |first=Bill |date=October 11, 2009 |title=Personal Note: NIV 2011 |url=https://www.billmounce.com/monday-with-mounce/personal-note-niv-2011 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240803012239/https://www.billmounce.com/monday-with-mounce/personal-note-niv-2011 |archive-date=August 3, 2024 |access-date=August 3, 2024 |website=Bill Mounce}}</ref>
