Just started exploring the ESV. So far, I love it! I also greatly appreciate the ESV Bible app on my phone. Itās always handy.

I actually just started exploring the ESV today (that's why I went looking for ESV videos). I've been comparing it to my NKJV tonight, and I like it. It's easier for me to read than the NKJV (which itself isn't very difficult, but has it's moments). Right now it's just an app on my phone, but if I continue to like it I'll buy one.

I'm looking forward to this! I'm working on a series of projects that uses a lot of translations(NKJV, ESV, NASB, NLT & NIV so far) so this is one of my favorite topics!

I bounce between the ESV and CSB in my personal devotions. I am excited for this series of videos. Thank you for the work you put into them.

I rarely write in the comment section, but I wanted to let you know how amazing your channel is. You have executed your channel with prestige and grace, I immediately added your channel due to your visuals, tempo of how you deliver a message, calmness, clarity, and directness... I just wanted to let you know - Tamaine

It is a very good translation and one that was my primary for several years but once I read the Legacy Standard Bible I switched and never looked back.

Thanks for sharing your opinion on the ESV translation, Mark. The ESV is my primary bible for daily reading and study. That said, I read several translations for comparison across the spectrum from formal to dynamic. The ESV Study Bible delivers some of the best study notes that I've seen compared to other study bibles.

I praise God for you Mark! Lack of unity in the body grieves me greatly, and your measured, articulate, winsome approach is a breath of fresh air! As to the topic at hand, I was given a NASB by my grandma on my 21st birthdayā¦it remained my preference for many years, partly out of a nostalgic homage to grandmaā¦when the ESV came out, the PCA church I belonged to began using itā¦after moving away and before landing at another church home, I found myself going back to the NASBā¦I now belong to another local body and the pastor preaches out of the ESVā¦soā¦Iām back to the ESVā¦

I have read the KJV for 14 years. I love it and agree with your take on the KJV false friends and other out dated English words. When I started reading the ESV, it filled in the GAPS the wonderful KJV left open for me. I really like the ESV and the KJV, although I do not really read the KJV alot anymore. Thanks for your work here Mark!

Our church doesn't have a translation "that we use." Everyone just brings and uses what they like. We're mostly an older demographic, and I'd guess the NIV might have a slight majority. I think it's a benefit that we can compare versions.
I've been an ESV fan for a while. I prefer it for personal Bible study, and I have preached from it before I switched to the CSB for preaching and our group Bible studies.

I appreciate your fairness in the translation/version analysis. All English versions have strengths. All English versions have weaknesses. I am convinced that there are two premises from which most people choose "their" favorite and most useful version: (1) Its textual and linguistic accuracy or closeness to the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. (2) How conscientious they are about it's weaknesses.

I'm curious, how many (presumably modern) English translations do you include in "all" when you say you've used them all? Biblegateway has 61 translations (including very old ones) though some are identical except for Anglicised spelling.

That was cool! I like all you said! I was just curious about the ESV since I recently recommended it and began to wonder if some would have reason to disagree. I feel I was led to hear your videos first and now I will listen to you again regarding the CSB since that and the ESV were the only two I recommended. So far, I think we are in total agreement! š¤ā¤ļø God bless!

@mark ward, as I think I've mentioned before, I've had a lot of discussions with a family member about versions and text issues. I grew up with basically KJVO teachings, but at college have been influenced towards other versions and have begun to use them. One of the main arguments is obviously the fact that many verses that appear in the KJV do not appear in the modern versions. The two main ones that have been presented to me are Acts 8:37 and 1 john 5:7. They say it affects doctrine, which in one sense appears to be true. To this I have responded that the doctrine taught in those verses appear clearly taught elsewhere in Scripture. The response i receive to this is that Satan only works to change things little by little. Another question i was asked is what would I do if preaching Acts 8 for example, and what would I say about the verse that does not appear, the response of the eunuch. What would you say to this. Another thing that came to my mind recently along the same lines, if our refute to their argument can be that the doctrines are strongly supported elsewhere in Scripture, what about versions such as the New World Translation? Obviously I know that's a bad translations, but even they don't take out every reference to Christ being God. Not sure if any of what ive said makes sense, but thanks for your videos.

I have heard that the ESV handles certain verses key to reformed theology a little unfairly to reflect the reformed theology the translators hold. I haven't seen proof of this mind you, it's just what I've been told. Would you at some point be willing to do a video on verses central to Calvinism in different translations?

Many people forget about the HCSB. It has, for Americans, one of the best vocabulary choices on many occasions. I believe that it is faithful to the originals, and has a great, yet non-King James-y choice in many renderings - rather, chooses it own scholarship and use of both traditional AND descriptive English. It is the chosen text for many Southern Baptist Sunday school curricula. I bought the HCSB audio CD Bible, and listen every night. I am ever and increasingly closer to God from this English translation. I memorized many Bible verses in RSV when I was young, and the ESV sounds a lot like the RSV. But I also use the NIV and the New King James.

I use the ESV primarily, but I totally agree with you. I'm a recent subscriber, you have an awesome channel. Keep up the good work!

Hello Mark, I'm getting back into reading the word but I find myself blurring over words in KJV. I've been tempted to grab the ERV please share your thoughts on this. I value your insight. Thank you!

Even though Iām a textus receptus guy I have now thought about getting the ESV because it has a reading level of 8 compared to my main Bible Translation NKJV which is a reading level of 9 so the ESV is the easiest Word for word translation you can get I think so you reckon I should buy one for cheap to see if I love it more?

When I left KJV only I went to the ESV. It flows very well to me. I like the saying "The best bible is the one you read". Bible versions are just another point of contention that need not be. Loved the video!
