The second of two videos comparing the New American Standard Bible (NASB) and the English Standard Version (ESV). This one gives five things that I think are better about the NASB.

In the previous video, I shared five things that I think are better about the NASB.

Really good video, with good use of graphics. Enjoyed it! After using the NKJV for 21 years (and I still like it), I switched to the ESV in 2017. It's my personal preference for both reading & preaching, but I never prepare a sermon without consulting the NASB (1977 version). As you pointed out, the extra footnotes in the NASB are useful. I find that here in Australia, very few people seem to use the NASB, so I prefer to preach from the ESV as it's more popular here. NIV is also popular, but I prefer the closer-to-literal nature of the ESV, and that imperfect tenses are more often translated than NIV. It's easy to see why so many scholars & preachers like the NASB, as it's a fine translation.

Thank you for your video. NASB is my favourite Bible translation and I enjoys the benefits it offers, which you have mentioned. I find your presentations helpful and well balanced for giving people good insights.

Thank you so much for this breakdown. I have been enjoying my Systematic ESV for sometime now as my favored translation. By Godā€™s grace, I just received a beautiful Schuyler Tuscany Quente NASB (ā€˜95 Ed.). It is my 1st NASB and so it is nice to hear the ā€œother sideā€ of the translation equation. My observation is that the ESV, as the newer version (2001) gets more praise over the NASBs older, traditional and literal translation - which a bit unfortunate. As BOTH translations are steeped in faithful scholarship, we should celebrate the strengths of eachā€¦ for better understanding. Your breakdown helped me understand the nuances of the design intent build into the translation in a way I previously hadnā€™t knownā€¦ which is extremely helpful and appreciated. Thank you for presenting this perspective at the perfect, useful time for me! šŸ™

Ty for sharing these things, the way you put it is quite palatable. I sent you another email for the February Bible Giveaway (Yoshi) ty for considering me. My favorite translation is NKJV the one I used to help me learn English with a Spanish Reina-Valera and a pocket dictionary, thatā€™s how I began to learn English apart from the few things I knew from Growing up in a place people use English mixed with Spanish.

That's what I love about the NASB, it's transparent to what was and was not in the original manuscripts, the notes and the capitalized pronouns for God.

Art you at all familiar with the new Literal Standard Version? I believe it does use the Received Texts. Itā€™s pretty interesting.

I used the KJV for many years, and have done all my Scripture memorization in that translation, so it was very difficult for me to switch to something else. But I did switch over to the ESV about ten years ago, and now consider it my primary translation (even though I still use the KJV for memorization). To me, the ESV's tendency to retain the beautiful poetic phrasing of the KJV is a major plus, but I'm sure that is simply because of my long history with the KJV. I tried the NASB, and was enjoying it, but the 2020 update has caused me to set it aside. It appears the translation team has abandoned their primary objective in an effort to expand their reach by "tickling the ears". While I hope they can indeed get God's Word into the hands of more people, I will leave them to it and stick with the ESV/KJV for my own Bible study needs.

Which do you like more, 1995 or 2020 edition? I've only read ESV, KJV and NIV84ā€”not a fan of the new NIV. I'm looking forward to reading through the NSAB next!

I personally mainly use the ESV and NASB95 (and I plan to switch to the NASB2020). I have found both their reputations are overstated. When I first heard about the NASB, I was told it was so wooden that it read like an instruction manual. And I was told the ESV retained all the literalness of the NASB but with the readability of the NIV. Neither are true. I think the ESV is even more wooden than the NASB95. In fact there are times when the ESV is pretty awkward. And yes, I think one of the biggest flaws of the ESV is that it doesnā€™t italicize words added to the text. Thereā€™s really no reason not to do that. But as for the NASB capitalizing pronouns.. thatā€™s not necessarily a good thing. For example when the Pharisees speak of Jesus, why would they speak of him with capitalized pronouns? Also we canā€™t get around the fact that the original language didnā€™t capitalize pronouns that referred to God.

What NASB version was used for the comparisons?

I bought a NASB in 1971 by Creation House Publishing, single column reference. It has a slightly wide margin which I like. I just this month have purchased an ESV so I'm learning about that one. In between I've bought NIV and NKJV. I actually find myself reading the NIV more but if I have questions I refer back to the NASB and NKJV. I have tried the NLT but it is not a go to for me. Just my way of reading and studying.
