Any particular print Bibles you prefer?

Are there any particular editions of the CSB that you're fond of?

I'd like to hear your thoughts regarding the Christian Standard Bible (CSB). Thank you.

I have to admit: I'm using the CSB quite a bit now, and I really appreciate it (for the very reasons you've been outlining.)

I for 1 Corinthians 15:58 especially helpful, because we rarely use the word "abounding" in our daily speech or writing.

Well, yes, but that's also true of the NIV and the NLT, isn't it?

All I can say at this point is: I disagree.

If we go to heaven when we die, what's the point of the resurrection?

I also appreciate the way the ESV maintains that melodic, lilting, majestic sound (when read aloud) that generations have found so appealing about the KJV (which is has in common with the NKJV). And, yes, I will freely admit that I like a Bible that "sounds like" a Bible, so to speak.

Your point is well taken. The fact that the ESV is not as wedded to the "formal equivalence" philosophy as the NASB95, for example, is one of the reasons I appreciate the ESV (and prefer it over the NKJV and NASB95.)

The only problem I have with the NASB20 is the exact same problem I have with the NASB95: it still maintains that awkward, stilted word order/sentence structure. Although I admire the efforts of Bible translators to be as "literal" or "word for word" as possible, it makes reading scripture more...

I like the NASB20's rendering, as well.

Romans 8:37 is especially helpful, I believe.

The NASB95 used to be my primary Bible translation of choice, until the ESV came along. I really appreciate the ESV for its "economy of words," when compared to the NASB95.

I am in total agreement with you here.

Any idea why they made the switch?

I'd like to hear your thoughts regarding the English Standard Version (ESV) of the Bible. For instance: is it deserving of its immense popularity, or is it (in reality) overrated? Is it popular because it's a fine translation, or because it's been marketed so well?

Another parallel Bible I'd like to see is the ESV, alongside the CSB. Primarily because these are (currently) my two favorite Bible translations.

I will simply say that, although I have great respect and admiration for both the KJV and the NKJV, (for various reasons) they are not my Bible translations of choice.

Yes, "shall I " is now "should I."
