Nolan, I once told you of a friend with a 25-yr-old, duct-taped NASB. You said you'd have liked to compare notes with him on the old versus the Update. Here's an example of where the Update is a Down-date: James 3.4 "Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder, wherever the inclination of the pilot desires." (NASB original) (Jam 3:4) Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires." (NASB95) By one lost comma after "behold" in version 1, version 2 is now crying out for the pronoun "they" after "winds," without which this verse is a grammatical dud. See what I mean? How did they miss this? I've come across several punctuation/grammatical errors in the NASB. Nevertheless, all hail the NASB. Colin. |

Greetings Colin! Perhaps they should look into consulting an English sentence-structure expert when they decide to do another revision.. :-) You would think that a book that is so widely read as the Bible would have no errors in punctuation! Even so, I have not found any errors in punctuation in the ESV yet.. But regardless of all its shortcomings, the NASB remains the Bible version of choice for me, since I have grown accustomed to it and am now very familiar with it.. But yes, I would greatly enjoy chatting with your friend about his 25-yr old, duct-taped NASB.. :-) Actually, I've been studying differences in the Majority Text, the Textus Receptus, and the Alexandrian Texts of late.. I have always enjoyed the KJV/NKJV renderings of Acts 8:27 and 1 Timothy 3:16 over that of the NASB/ESV, even though the NASB keeps Acts 8:27 within the text. Blessings to you, Makarios |
