  Designed to look and feel like a contemporary paperback book, this edition of Mark's gospel includes chapter and verse references but in a single column setting, making it easy to read and accessible to those encountering the Bible for the first time. With over 400 million Bibles in print, the New International Version is renowned for its combination of reliability and readability. Fully revised and updated for the first time in 25 years, the NIV is ideal for personal reading, public teaching and group study. There are three main types of change in this revised edition of the NIV, taking into account changes in the way we use language day to day; advances in biblical scholarship and understanding; and the need to ensure that gender accurate language is used, to faithfully reflect whether men and women are referred to in each instance. The translators have carefully assessed a huge body of scholarship, as well as inviting peer submissions, in order to review every word of the existing NIV to ensure it remains as clear and relevant today as when it was first published. This edition uses British spelling, punctuation and grammar allowing the Bible to be read more naturally. Royalties from all sales of the NIV Bible help Biblica, formerly the International Bible Society, in their work of translating and distributing Bibles around the world.
