The currently renewed respect among Old Testament scholars for the Masoretic text is reflected in the ESV’s attempt, wherever possible, to translate difficult Hebrew passages as they stand in the Masoretic text rather than resorting to emendations or to finding an alternative reading in the ancient versions. In exceptional, difficult cases, the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Septuagint, the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Syriac Peshitta, the Latin Vulgate, and other sources were consulted to shed possible light on the text, or, if necessary, to support a divergence from the Masoretic text.}}</ref>|'''[[New Testament|NT]]''': [[United Bible Societies|UBS]] ''Greek New Testament'' (5th corrected ed.); ''[[Novum Testamentum Graece]]'' (28th ed., 2012)<ref name="esv-nt-basis">{{Cite web |title=Preface to the English Standard Version |url=https://www.esv.org/preface/ |website=ESV.org |language=en |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200526061435/https://www.esv.org/preface/ |archive-date=May 26, 2020 |access-date=January 4, 2021 |quote=[The ESV New Testament is based] on the Greek text in the 2014 editions of the ''Greek New Testament'' (5th corrected ed.), published by the United Bible Societies (UBS), and ''Novum Testamentum Graece'' (28th ed., 2012), edited by Nestle and Aland.{{Nbsp}}... in a few difficult cases in the New Testament, the ESV has followed a Greek text different from the text given preference in the UBS/Nestle-Aland 28th edition.}}</ref>|'''[[Biblical apocrypha|Apocrypha]]''':{{Efn|The Apocrypha is not included in editions of the ESV published by Crossway.

In 2002, Crossway published an unannounced revision to the original 2001 text to make several corrections in places where it was believed "that a mistake had been made in translation." This includes a revision in Romans 3:9, changing "under the power of sin" to "under sin."<ref name=":17" />

In 2019, Anglican Liturgy Press published the ''ESV with Apocrypha''. This edition includes the Apocrypha, placed at the back of the Bible.<ref name=":1">{{Cite book |title=ESV with Apocrypha |publisher=Anglican Liturgy Press |year=2019 |isbn=978-1-7323448-6-0 |location=Huntington Beach, CA}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=ESV with Apocrypha |url=https://anglicanhousepublishers.org/shop/the-esv-bible-with-apocrypha/ |url-status=livedeviated |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210101232415/https://anglicanhousepublishers.org/shop/the-esv-bible-with-apocrypha/ |archive-date=January 1, 2021 |access-date=January 1, 2021 |website=Anglican House Publishers}}</ref> Having been approved by the ESV translation committee, the Apocrypha text found in this edition is a minor revision of the 2009 text published by Oxford University Press.
