    You meant the extent of gender inclusive language. Because, as I have said, the 1984 NIV has some, the ESV has quite a lot more. You can't escape from it.

    I cannot understand the need for so many English Bibles in the past few years? This has got to do with publishers making money! Versions like the NKJV and NASB are fine for most users who want to move from the old English of the KJV.

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

    I was give a CSB as a gift. I rarely look at it, not because I don't like the translation, but purely because the publisher of the Bible printed the text in a light gray color and small font with micro thin pages. I can barely make out the text. Also, it's a "study bible" so it is filled with other stuff I find useless to my actual reading and studying of the text. Since I use the NLT much more often, I don't have much interest in the CSB.

    Did you mean go back to the NASB 1995? Because the old Holman Christian Bible came out with the full canon in 2004. That was the precursor of the current CSB.

    Perhaps the best so called "mediating" bible, as not as much inclusive language as the Niv 2011, about same as the Nas 2020!

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

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

    Although I rarely use the NLT, I certainly respect your decision.

    And how did you make that determination? You never do any personal investigation.

    You're even. He rarely uses the CSB and you rarely use the NLT.

    The grammar of the 2020 NASB is superior to not only that of the 1995 NASB but to the ESV.

    I asked you about a dozen hours ago --whatever happened to your appreciation (almost fandom) of the CSB? You were enamored with it as recently as a few days ago.
