    Much better to stick with more formal and literal translation though!

    I'm beginning to think your favorite Bible translations will soon be my three favorites, as well.

    I definitely agree with you. And I believe we're not alone in our opinion.

    On balance I like the 2020 update. But I agree, adding "and sisters" was a step backwards from excellence. Getting rid of "begotten" really helped. The more I use the 2020, except for the "and sisters" the more I like it.

    In the NASB20 thoses words are added in italics to show that those added words are not from the Greek text.

    Based on your input, I'll have to give the NASB 2020 a try. Thank you.

    A very good point. I've been using the ESV a lot lately, and I forgot that the NASB does that.

    I imagine I'll need to spend more time comparing the NASB95 to the updated NASB (2020), before coming to a final judgment.

    Yes, but as I have often observed, those added words draw a distinction not found in the verse. We are all siblings of Christ and each other, but there is no distinction, no male and female. The addition, even in italics, does not actually clarify the text.

    So far, the only real problem I've discovered with the NASB20 is its gender inclusive language. Disappointing, to be sure.

    This thread title looks just like a thread Alex started on Nov. 7, 2021 : NASB95 vs. NASB20.
