My understanding is that "meaning" is conveyed on several different levels. Language communicates meaning in its grammatical structure (no English translation picks this up), in its semantic relationships (CSB and NIV are good here), and in the individual words (NASB and ESV are good here). There are even a number of other ways in which language can communicate meaning where translations like the NLT can pick up on better.
I read study from the CSB, NASB, and NIV. But I employ the ESV, NKJV, NET, CEB, and NLT extensively because you can get incredible insight from using different translations if you know what to look for when reading your Bible.

I just Googled "What is the most accurate Bible Translation?" And the NASB (New American Standard Bible) popped up. So, I will check it out. Thank you Dr. Lawson. By the way, I listen to you on YouTube every day, along with RC Sproul and John MacArthur. My favorite Videos are the Ligonier Panel.

I feel like there is a bit of a resurgence in popularity for the NASB which I am happy to see. I started in the NASB after I was born again, switched mainly to the ESV, but have now returned to the NASB with my new Preacher’s Bible and I have come to realize out of all the translations I have read and studied from, the NASB truly is my favorite as well.

Good to hear because after 24 years of using the NASB (all the while comparing and purchasing many others) I still go back to the NASB. Call it a habit? I don't know, maybe. I used the ESV for a couple of years while going through it, Genesis through Revelation, and making copious margin notes as a gift to my youngest Granddaughter, as I did before for her older Sister (I did the same for her but gave her an NASB). Like Dr. Lawson, I have another six or eight translations, even a "Young's Literal Translation" which I do comparisons on certain passages, but always seem to go back to the NASB. Giving it some thought, I believe that Dr. MacArthur started me on the NASB as a new believer!

"I make major points out of small words." In my experience, dynamic equivalent translations tend to leave out the small words. I appreciate Dr. Lawson's perspective.
