Since I'm happy with the NASB95, I don't see any reason to switch to the NASB 2020, do you?

Yes, I'm pretty much sticking to the ESV and NASB95 now.

RipponRedeaux, through his numerous posts, has finally persuaded me to avoid, for the most part, gender inclusive Bible translations. In addition, he has managed to convince me to avoid functional equivalence Bible translations, as well. I was "on the fence," so to speak to, but his comments...

I agree. Although I'm pleased to have the ESV!

I like the CSB, but I wish it didn't have the gender inclusive language.

I am in complete agreement with you on this. My two favorite Bible translations are the ESV and the NASB95. And, of course, I will always have a place in my heart for the KJV, as well.

Of the two, which do you prefer (and why)?

I no longer mind the clunky English in the ESV, because I've come to like the ESV, and I've grown accustomed to it.

Yes, that's correct.

KJV, NKJV, NASB95, ESV.

I would prefer a Bible translation not have gender inclusive language. I realize that the CSB has gender inclusive language. But I appreciate the CSB, nevertheless.

I I like the ESV. I also like the CSB. I realize they are different. I prefer the ESV, but I'm fond of the CSB, too. I like Burger King. I like Taco Bell. I realize they are different. Nevertheless, I like them both.

That's the beauty of my rave reviews. They're free of charge.

The ESV is my favorite Bible translation. I like it just the way it is. I also like the CSB, despite its gender inclusive language. I also like the NASB95. There are certain things I like about the KJV, NKJV, NET, NIV84, NIV, and NLT. If you like Chevy, and I like Ford, I have no problem...

I don't disagree with them. It's simply "not my cup of tea," so to speak. In other words, it's not what I prefer, but I don't have a problem with it.

The updated NASB is certainly more "readable" than its predecessor.

I find 1 Thessalonians 1:3 helpful, because "patience of hope" is not easily understood.

I find Hebrews 1:3 to be particularly helpful, because "word of his power" is not easily understood.

I've been hearing that about the updated NASB (2020).

Regarding the CSB: I believe it's a shame that so many people reject it "out of hand," so to speak, because they think, "The CSB? Oh, no! That's a Southern Baptist Bible. It's bound to have denominational bias."
