I think that the NASB and NKJV are the two best modern translations for study purposes. Since I am using the KJV more now, I don't refer to the ESV that often. I don't even have a copy of it anymore since I got rid of mine during my recent move. But the Crossway does seem to keep coming out with interesting editions of the ESV.
If you like the NASB, don't worry about it even though the ESV is the hot new translation right now.
Nice to see you posting here again. |
Thank you Brother. As a King James man I would not say I am worried about the issue, as you noted, the ESV is the "hot" translation now, I was simply curious about how my PB Brethren felt about the what seems to be a marketplace struggle between these two literal CT based translations.
