My personal top picks in order are: ESV, NIV, NASB, CSB, NET. The NIV has a special place in my heart. I experienced conversion when I couldn't sleep one day and there happened to be a paperback NIV84 lying around. I picked it up out of curiosity, not knowing that the Holy Spirit was about to change me forever. Following this experience I began to read the Bible for the first time in my life and the NIV made it so much easier to grasp. I can't believe that was 21 years ago.

That’s a great point about the pronunciation. Maybe ask the publishers? I would just spell out the NASB (NAS-by sounds like “nasty” 😂) and NRSVue (although an N-R-S-View sounds funny, too). I’m also with you on a light NKJV update, mainly restoring some of the choices of the KJV, but also updating the textual notes. I’ve also fallen back in love with the KJV over the last year. The ESV, NRSVue (woot!), NET, NLT, and KJV are probably my top five. ✌️🤓📚

I have always called it the N-A-S-B, it was only recently when I discovered Mark Ward's channel that.I found out people say "Nasby." My favorite translation right now is NIV. It's easier to read and for some reason, I find it easier to memorize than the ESV or CSB, and It was my grandmother's primary bible when I was growing up so it makes me think of her. I have always loved the NKJV too. My top 5 translations would be: 1. NIV 2. NKJV 3. NLT 4. NASB (I have always preferred it to the ESV) 5. RSV (basically I like that it keeps some old Elizabethan language when referring to God)

Tim, Thanks!!! (for everything) I love your knowledge, help, experiance, and smile. I am a red sea pedestrian who has recently found JC, and you've been a great help. Being over 55 it is quite an experience and I thank my wife (non Jewish) for opening my eyes and spirit. In the last month i have bought over 8 bibles and I think that I will be buying a premium one once I settle on a translation/format. Keep up the great work. KJV will always be my core, but for readability.... I am waiting on an ESV, and I can't wait to read all of the notes. BTW, say each letter of NASB for the audio book. It is best for that, when conversing nasbee is ok and your choice.

Listening to your podcast I have learned of more recent versions. I would feel interested in some of them and go research and I usually come across more controversy than I felt comfortable with, so I ended deciding to stay with what I trust, NASB and KJV, My absolute favorite bible is not well known but I love the translation and I usually read it everyday. It's the Modern Language Bible, which is revised version of the Berkley Bible. It was translated and published in 1959. I learned about it from a friend who would read his bible in the original texts. He recommended the Berkley Version, which I have been reading for years.

I always look forward to this list you do every year. ❤ I have always said N-A-S-B and the year published, myself. About the NKJV, here's my 2 cents. Leave well enough alone. There reason being is it sells. Other than the KJV, it's the only TR Bible that sells very well. The only one other TR Bible that I can think of that sells was the MEV (Modern English Version). There are so many forgotten TR Bibles that is so sad to see. Since the NKJV sells so well, I'm hoping that means more souls for Christ. And that should be the ultimate goal for every translation of the Bible in every language.

I love the Thees and Thous in reference to God. The Psalms are just a pleasure to read in the RSV. And, side note, I like to call the NASB the NAS, saying each letter - N. A. S.

When you record the audiobook, I suggest going with N A S B (In Aye Ess Bee). Because even people who have said Nahzz Bee for decades will know what you mean. But people who say N A S B may not understand Nahzz Bee. :) I think it sounds more "professional". Of course, you can always check out the audio bibles of the NASB and see what they say, or other audio books that talk about Bible translations.

I was surprised that the NRSV was *not* in the top 10 every year because the translation is such a staple in state college and state university New Testament classes. I think you are right regarding its No. 10 spot this year--that people wanted physical copies of the 1989 (I know I did) AND they were curious about the NRSVue. Incidentally, in my head I think-say NASBy, but in person I always say NASB (lol). I've always been shocked and saddened that the NASB doesn't sell better. I'm happy to see the CSB doing so well, surprised that the NKJV is not doing so well (and, as I commented before, the MEV, Modern English Version, is a great inadvertent update to the NKJV--though I don't know what's going on with the production of it recently), and am ecstatic that the NLT is continually gaining ground. I wish the NET (full notes edition) were more popular / sold better. I'm reading through the NET Bible Full Notes edition, Biblical Text and Notes, this year. What a treasure! I've never been a fan of the NIV and I'm still not (though I did like the TNIV--but that's another story for another day). Oddly enough, however, I do like the NIrV (as well as God's Word translation--which has been updated recently--and I recommend both of those translations for young readers and for those who find reading difficult). I did, though, first read through the entire Bible when I got saved in 1995 using the NIV 1984. The ESV is a great translation and Crossway has been brilliant to offer such quality and good-looking and various styles, editions, etc. The ESV Preaching Bible, Black Goatskin Leather, is one of the most beautiful Bibles I've ever seen. That the KJV still sells so well (and is still read and studied by so many) is, as you stated, a testament to its rightful place within our literary library of great English Bibles. I enjoyed this video immensely and can't wait to get your book! God bless.

Hi Tim, loved the video on Bible translations and really looking forward to your book. As to my preference I read the NKJV. For 25 years my primary Bible has been the New Geneva Study Bible. It is how the Reformation Study. I like it has the tone of the KJV. My current daily reader is a NKJV in goat that was your favorite until it go knocked from the #1 spot last year. Lastly where do I sign for the monthly donation to support.

The Adventure Bible (KJV) was my first study Bible. I'm now 40, and the first Bible I bought my kids was an "Adventure Bible" (NKJV). They now have ESV "Following Jesus Bible" but the "Adventure Bible" will always hold a special place in my heart.

My own favourite bible is the N-A-S-B 1995. It's what I found in the hotel room last summer, and it's the one that did a way better job at sucking me in than my old NIV Study could from 2007; a church youth group gift from my parents. After trying multiple other translations, it's still the one that best resonates with my how my mind works. Many say it doesn't read smooth, but so far I'm up to Judges 17 and haven't seen anywhere that this has been noticeable. My only wishes are that either zondervan would better (or actually) bolden the verse numbers for new paragraphs, or that other publishers might make an attractive thinline that fits in my carry case.

I used the 95 NASB for 20 years or so. These days I use the Legacy Standard Bible, which is essentially the 95 NASB only better. 🙂

I've always said, and heard said, N-A-S-B (all spelled out). I would find "NAS-bee" extremely aggravating.

NAS-bee sounds very American and wouldn’t connect so much with an international audience.

With regards to NASB pronunciation . . . I've found myself using both "N-A-S-B" and "Nas-Bee." Whichever, I will sometimes follow with the particular version -- "2020" or '95." I have a similar issue with the acronym of a Catholic Bible (which I don't have yet) -- the New American Bible or NAB (NOT to be confused with the NASB). Now with previous editions of this, I usually just spell it out ("N-A-B"), but around the third revision, the acronym changed to NABRE (no hyphen) to indicate the Revised Edition of this translation. And I find myself usually calling this the "Nab-Ray" rather than spelling it out. Can't say whether others do that or not, though.

I say "N.A.S.B.", not "Nazzbee." If I've ever heard anybody say "Nazzbee" I don't remember it. It sounds much less articulate, and it's a reference to such a well-articulated translation!

For consistency I would probably prefer N-A-S-B since you spell out the other translations.

I learned about the NASB through a TikToker who dis videos on bible prophecy. She does bible studies on KZfaq now and she says the letters out loud. I've never heard anyone pronounce it the other way.
