Part of the reason that the ESV reads well with a good cadence is that J.I. Packer, it's General Editor, was an Anglican priest and wanted it to sound well for when read publicly.

I agree with everything Tim said, but would add these thoughts. 1) Crossways secondary material is excellent ( commentaries, Bible studies, etc) which use the ESV. 2) They seem to have pioneered using different more enjoyable to read fonts and better typesetting which other translations have now caught on to. 3) Their product lines are copied by other translations ( NKJV Interleaved Bible, CSB Scripture Notebook, etc.) Showing their innovation is second to none. 4) Their products are all great quality ( which Tim alluded to) from cheap $20 Bibles to their expensive premium offerings. They all seem to have a high standard of quality. 5) The translation is traditional enough for the traditionalist, new enough for the new reader, and literal enough for the scholar.

The Bible I keep in my truck is ESV. The Bible I keep in my work bag is the ESV. My go-to for personal study is the ESV. I think it has great footnotes in the study Bible. I love the single-column layout of the preaching edition. I really like the understated elegance of the translation. I think maybe, in that way, it reminds me of the KJV I grew up with, but in understandable modern English.
For preaching and leading Bible studies, tho, I use the CSB. It just seems more accessible English for a mixed crowd of indeterminate educating and reading level.

This year is the first time I've read so much ESV. I'm enjoying it. Reading through in a year with ESV & NASB1995. Last year did CSB & NASB1995. NASB1995 is my favorite. But I've been enjoying mixing it up a bit. Spend some time in devotion Bible's in NKJV. CSB & NLT. The different helps in Bible's these days are wonderful. We're spoiled. Thanks for interesting video Brother Tim. Let's keep reading our Bibles.βοΈπππ€

Having grew up with the RSV, the ESV is about like the RSV. The ESV is what the NRSV should have been.

About three months ago (as I type this), out of curiosity I was searching (on Amazon) for Bibles -- in particular, "small" or "compact" bibles; I had very little knowledge of the different translations. One compact Bible that caught my eye was an ESV. Since I didn't know ANYTHING at that time about the ESV (like, that it stood for English Standard Version), I started looking into it, and getting some understanding with regards to the other translations ("word-for-word," "thought-for-thought," etc.). I also took a familiar Bible chapter (even to me, who hadn't been to church in years, and had tried and failed to read the Bible as a kid more than once) -- namely, Psalm 23 -- and compared different translations of that particular Psalm. After all this, I decided that maybe I wanted to take a crack at reading the Bible. I decided to try a more recent translation, but also one that leaned more on the "word-for-word" side. To me, the ESV fit the bill; it even passed the "Shadow of Death" test (although, TBH, I have no problem with "valley of deep darkness" in Ps 23:4 -- and that's in a footnote). This probably fits Mr. Frisch's fourth point: "Its traditional sound."
As for Tim's second point -- "Its various editions" -- that gave me a bit of a headache for a few days: trying to sort through the Many MANY different variations JUST FROM CROSSWAY!! In the end, I wound up selecting the VERY SAME compact Bible (okay, "Large Print Compact Bible") that initially caught my eye.
About three days ago (again, as I type this), I completed my readthrough (first one EVER) of that Bible.

J.I. Packer's influence is a big reason I lean toward ESV, with absolutely nothing against NASB or NKJV. Plus, the ESV Study Bible is unparalleled in a combination of theology, apologetics, and cultural application. Love the new BSB translation, however, too. Thanks, Tim.

I think that one of the big reasons why the ESV is so popular in the world in which I live is that there are so many resources that go with the ESV that are such high quality. The ESV Study Bible was SO good compared to other study Bibles on the market back in the day (even if also SO MUCH BIGGER). It came out while I was in Bible college and starting seminary which is what initially made me gravitate to the ESV (having grown up on the NIV). The amount of study resources that go with the ESV also makes it feel like a translation for a "serious students of the Bible." While I now prefer the CSB, I wish there were the resources of that magnitude associated with it. Β
Another good place for the ESV is the context in which I now find myself. I pastor a church where many people are either (N)KJV readers or NIV '84 readers. The ESV fits a "sweet spot" between the more traditional language without using as many archaic English wordings and terms. Last week I preached from the CSB and had a parishioner tell how "lost" they were because they were using the NKJV. π Haven't had those comments nearly as often when using the ESV.

For me, it was the fact that the denomination I belong to uses the ESV in everything. It is quoted in our hymnal, it is read from the pulpit. It is the translation used in our lectionary. It is what is used in the Small Catechism. It is what I use when I teach Bible study.
There is also the fact that in a liturgical context, the ESV stands up really well. The Psalms read well and sing well in a group setting. The NKJV does well in this setting too. Something like the NIV, NLT, CEB, or the NASB does not sound right in a liturgical setting. The ESV became popular among conservative litugically-minded Protestants for that reason.

You asked what my favorite translation is. It is the NLT because its very readable, understandable, accurate, it flows well and the Word comes alive in this translation more than any other. I just finished reading the NewTestament again in the NLT. I do like the NKJV, CSB, KJV and the Geneva Bible as well. Those are the 5 I will stick to. I have an NASB 1995 Bible too. Blessings!

Recently, the ESV Catholic Edition has come with extra books that Catholics read. Most Catholic bible readers use the RSV but now the ESV is an option for the 25 million or so Catholics living in the US and other countries. Love your videos.

I grew up on the KJV, but when I was a teenager I came across the NIV. Wow, was that a game-changer! For the first time I really enjoyed reading my Bible instead of feeling like it was a chore. As I got older and learned more about translations, I wanted a more literal version. I started using the NASB, but it felt clunky in the way it sounded to me. Then I heard John Piper say he used the ESV, which I'd never heard of before. I tried it, and I liked it. It's an easier read to me than the NASB but still has a stately feel. In other words it's approachable in its language but not casual. It's my daily reading Bible, but not my hard copy. I use the app. It's user-friendly, light-weight, and always available.
If I had known about the (at the time) HCSB I probably would have gone for that. That's the version my pastor uses. But now I'm familiar with it, I enjoy it, so I'm pretty set in my ways. π
Thank you for another great video! ππ»

I have both the Esv and Nasb reference Bible. I would say I like the Nasb a bit more. But when I read a study Bible itβs almost always my Nasb study Bible. Nice video as always.

I used (and preferred) the NASB for over 30 years, but my church of 18 years uses the NIV. I switched to ESV a few years back as a happy medium between the two.

Thank you for your comments on the ESV translations. Like others, I grew up on the KJV version of the bible. Over time I gravitated to the NIV. Being a conservative Christian, when Crossway introduced the ESV I was drawn to the more literal translation. It's definitely in my frequently read versions which includes the NASB, CSB, NET bible and NIV.

Good report on ESV. I have used the 1984 NIV for years. Lately, I have been listening to the audio KJV bible read by Alexander Scourby.

I love the esv, good content man, praying for you ministry! Glad there are other people on here making content for the kingdom!

For me, it's two things: 1) there's nothing objectionable (to ME) to be found in the ESV and 2) it still sounds like what the Bible ought to sound like.
I still prefer the RSV, but the ESV is very good.

THANKS for THIS. I just ordered a new ESV yesterday.

It was the ESV STUDY BIBLE that put the ESV on Everybody's radar. π
