Why did they discontinue printing the Scofield NASB? Mine got thrashed and I went to purchase another, but they were not available.

God bless you, great video!

I do not think so as the NRSV older version before changes to being inclusive as well as RSV are very close to the translation.

Awesome. I would send it to a rebinder and have them use the old cover with a new lambskin leather liner.

Study Old Testament! The New Testament was written 5 to 7 hundred years after the old. Its not correct.

Great video. Please turn off your autofocus.. it’s dizzying.

Everyone knows "The Message " is the best translation. 🤫😬

How often do you study vs reading?

I’m not a Calvinist and don’t own a ESV or ever will I have read different passages in the ESV and compared it with other versions and the ESV does lean more toward reform theology and omits crucial verses too numerous to go through. I use mainly NKJV but also enjoy reading the KJV and NASB 95 . Everyone has their favorite version I think that’s great main thing is you read the Bible and study with different translations, interpretations should always be the same in every version but translations can be different, we don’t want to change the meaning of a passage

As a Calvinist and deacon in a Reformed Church I am NOT a fan of the ESV (among other translations) for many reasons but mainly for one essential point: John 3:16 translates “one and only son” rather than “only-begotten Son”, undermining the cornerstone doctrine of Christiandom namely the eternal nature of the Lamb. Instead of falling into the status quo Believers need to critically think about how God has revealed Himself to us through His Word. NKJV all the way 😊❤️

The biggest problem with the ESV is the ESV changes the text too often. Apparently an update is scheduled for 2025.

There's no salvation outside of christ and his true word in English is the kjv, and to say did the apostles speak Shakespearen English was just stupid, iam sure God was aware the we here would be speaking English and needed the word in English. Like I said the versions are all different, which one is correct? Iam a reformer and I wouldn't touch any version except the kjv.

All English translations have a bit of interpretation. The fact is, there are Greek words that simply don’t translate to English at all, so you have to try “translate” the best possible English meaning. Some translations have an obvious Reformed slant.

Simple but not simplistic🎉

Why do they change it if the original Greek says men? They are totally wrong for changing God's word. I'll stick to the 95 edition.

They have turned left.

ESV is my main. Not a calvinist

Can you make a video on the CSB?

I am in exactly the same place. I have read the KJV and ESV through the most, followed by the RSV. I have read the NASB 1977 through and the NKJV through as well as the NET, NLT, CSB and TNIV. Overall I like the ESV, but the KJV is the one I reach for when doing serious study. I just grew up with the KJV, so it’s my go-to.

Bottom line on the ESV. A group of men see an emerging trend. Revisions of modern translations are move in the direction of egalitarianism, like the popular NIV which had been revised in 2002. They wanted a new revision that they could weaponize againt this trend. The most expedient strategy was to get permision to revise a derelict translation, e.g., the 1971 RSV. This project was not undertaken to improve accuracy or preserve reformational tradions. The singular goal was to preserve patriarchy.

Catholic here. ESV is my go to translation for my personal bible. I like to have a NASB 95 handy when doing closer reading.

It is not coincidental that the Young, Restless, Reformed movement of the early 2000s and the introduction of the ESV (2001) occurred at the same time. I would add that the ESV Study Bible's release in 2008 supercharged its popularity amongst the Reformed. I still consider it the standard by which all study Bibles should be compared to. Also, there wouldn't be the success of the ESV if it wasn't for the marketing of its publisher, Crossway. They do the best to offer a great product for a reasonable price in multiple versions. One reason I prefer the ESV is because of the longevity I believe that it will have over, let's say, another excellent translation such as the LSB. The 2016 update is often used as a case in which the ESV translating team puts their theological perspectives first prior to translating. Genesis 3:16b: "Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you." The use of the word "contrary" was highly controversial, as some were making claims that they were trying to make a theological point on the Complementarian view. Now, the Hebrew word can be translated as "contrary," but it hasn't been translated this way in most, if not all, versions of the Bible.

Thank you, brother! And a blessed new year to you!

Thanks for sharing this! What made you draw a line to your note vs using another number?

I would just like to give you a word of encouragement my friend. I am Reformed, and though you are not, you handle yourself with grace and kindness and humility. I very much appreciate that, especially today where you just see the complete vitriol of people claiming to be Christians on both sides. Thank you for your level headed approach. May the Lord bless you and your family my young brother. Also, where are you posting this video from??

I’ve used the ESV, NASB, NLT, NIV, NKJV, and KJV. Im soon going to get the NET(w/full notes) and ride that one for a while.

I looked into your resources yesterday. Thank you🎉

A person that truly understands the gospel of grace would use the kjv, the true and perfect word of God

Whenever i think about the ESV, I always associate it with CSB. The reason is when I was getting my bachelors in the early 2000s, a lot of people who liked the NASB agreed that it gets choppy in places. Around 2004ish, the CSB began appearing among the students and was getting a lot of discussion in local churches. It was about 2008ish, when I remember the ESV coming into conservative churches like a powerful wave. I just remember that whatever attention the CSB was getting was swept aside by the popularity of the ESV. I personally really like the NASB, but I often use the ESV, as well. (Just for reference, I too have experience with Koine Greek. These days, a lot of my NT devotional reading is with my Greek NT.) While I am a Reformed/calvinist-minded believer, I will say that any and every translation does some interpretive leg-work. I will admit that the ESV does more than a little interpretive leg-work, especially in NT passages; and I would say that the interpretive push is not so much Calvinistic, but more of a Covenent Theology drift. Again, there is no translation that is not doing some interpretive work. It's just another reason to put in the time and learn Biblical languages.

I'm NASB all day! And I'm enjoying your videos very much and learning alot. Thanks for all these great videos and for being so kool! 😊👍

New subscriber, recently stumbled across your video about the family NAS Pitt Minion. We are of similar mind in approach, and same goal. God Bless Bro. Miles!

Definitely not Calvinist only. I'm Lutheran (LCMS) and my church uses the ESV. 🤷‍♂️

Before studying the Bible, it would be better to study geology.

I'd say KJV is the only true word of Truth that everyone should use!

The bow to the Jews Bible, how pathetic.
