I've flip flopped on the textual issue for some time, but am now leaning strongly toward the Byzantine Text. But for a CT Bible I use the NASB as well. It is the translation I cut my teeth on. The translation I was never able to "get into" was the NIV. The ESV is clearly better than the NIV but it takes a back seat to the KJV, NKJV, NASB and probably the ASV (with which I'm not that familiar) in my opinion.

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon
