1 | Why do I find variations in 1995 NASB's? | Bible general Archive 2 | toleno | 153651 | ||
I have two different copies of NASB Bibles. One is a Ryrie study Bible and the other is a slimline pocket Bible. Also, sometimes I look up NASB passages at biblegateway.com. ALL of these claim to be using the NASB 1995 edition by the Lockman Foundation, yet I find variation in many verses. What is going on here? How can I tell for certain that I am using the 1995 version? How do I know which is the "official" Lockman Foundation NASB? Thanks. [Notes: (1) I couldn't find a more suitable category or place to ask this question, I couldn't find anything related in the existing questions, and I couldn't find any way to contact Lockman Foundation directly to ask the question of someone in charge! (2) I am re-entering this question so it moves to the head of the line and has a fresh chance to be answered. The forum doesn't seem to be very user-friendly in terms of displaying, organizing, and searching for questions and answers, and other common functions. Sorry!] |

Hi Toleno, I don't know about the variations, although I can tell you how to contact Lockman. At the top of this page is a "Lockman" tab, click it to go to the Lockman Foundation Home Page. On it, at the left, is a link for "About the Lockman Foundation". Click that and it will take you to a page with a tab "Contact Us", which will take you to the contact information. I hope this helps. Please let us know what you find out. Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi HolyT, 1 Peter 1:15, "but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy." We'll pass the time of our pilgrimage in fear, as we address as Father the One who impartially judges. What is an example of the differences that you see? I would suppose that variations are from the different publishing presses and their proof readers. May I suggest that you refrain from answering your own questions, for when you do it takes your question off the front page question board. From the heart, Ray |

There is an interesting story behind "Holy"--some other time if you are curious. Example 1: Moody Press (Ryrie Study Bible), Matt 6:26--"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor DO THEY reap nor gather into barns,..." World Publishing ("Slimline"), Matt 6:26--"Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns,..." (also BibleGateway.com) Example 2: Moody, Prov 11:3b--But the FALSENESS of the treacherous will destroy them. World, Prov 11:3b--But the CROOKEDNESS of the treacherous will destroy them. (also BibleGateway.com) There are many more like this. All 3 sources are absolutely explicit in saying that they are the 1995 NASB version. I have a suspicion: My Ryrie Study Bible somehow let an earlier NASB slip in there in a few places. But, I don't know if that makes sense. And/or, it is just plain shoddily edited and produced--I have found other errors. What a poor testimony! |

Hi HolyT, I see what you mean. They definately are not all quotes from the 1995 NASB, and they have minute differences in addition to different copyrights. They are not changes that will affect a person's salvation and hearing the word of God however. We can be happy to have these "free" versions on the Internet. I am curious about HolyT. You can write back here, but it would be even better to put it in your profile for all to see if they are curious. From the heart, Ray |

Thanks Ray. I am not concerned at all that differences in "1995 NASB"'s affect doctrinal issues, much less salvation issues. If I were, I would be going nuts regarding actual different versions, and I am not. I am comfortable reading and studying different versions. I am confident that most of the well-known versions out there have been faithfully translated and more or less give accurate translations of the original autographs, and clearly communicate everything necessary for all major (and almost all minor) doctrinal issues. I realize that different versions have different purposes (e.g. readability vs. precision; English usage) and different opinions on textual sources (e.g. older vs. more numerous manuscripts). I also realize that, based on what we know of the original autographs and languages, the overall accuracy of the sources we have is pretty near 98-99 percent plus (hey, I just realized that this forum does not allow the percentage sign or the plus sign--now that is an odd restriction). The root of my concern is that I have memorized tons of verses from my Ryrie Study Bible (published by Moody), and I would just like to know that I am memorizing something consistent. I'd like to be able to hand someone my Slimline Bible and say, "Check me on Second Timothy." Or maybe I'd like to work on Scripture memory with someone who also likes the 1995 NASB, and we could check each other (with no reference) and be sure we are checking the same thing. I'm tempted to go back and re-memorize the verses that are "wrong" in my study Bible, but before I do that I need to be certain that I have a totally accurate source for the 1995 NASB. So I'm still wondering what's going on with my study Bible, and where I can find a source that I can truly trust. I'll check the profile section to see if there's a logical place for the story about "Holy." I try to use Holy as a login on sites like this but of course Holy is taken early on at a Christian site! Years before I became a Christian, I was doing a month of training and familiarization (exposure to "the Fleet") at an F-14 Tomcat squadron. At the time, I was a midshipman at the U. S. Naval Academy. Everyone "had" to have a callsign there, and since my last name sounds like "Toledo," I was dubbed "Holy." When I became a Navy pilot myself, I did not fly tactical aircraft, so I never used my callsign as a "real" callsign in the air. Nonetheless, when I was in flight training, I had my helmet bag embroidered with my name, my callsign "Holy," and an insignia that I had previously earned. Years later, after I became a Christian, I had my bag embroidered again, this time with new insignia I had earned, plus a Christian fish, plus the reference “Ephesians 1:4.” That verse says, “just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be HOLY and blameless before Him,….” So, when I got the callsign, it was nothing to me except clever wordplay. But later I found out that God had determined to place me in Christ and call me “Holy” before the foundation of the world. So I really was “Holy” all along; I just didn’t know it until God actually drew me to Christ! Now, people assume that the callsign has something to do with “religion” before I get to tell them the story. |

HolyT, God bless you brother and welcome to the forum.You and I have more in common than you know.I'm a veteran of 16 years in the Navy myself.It's a blessing to see another brother in arms standing strong in the faith.I think you pretty effectively answered your question here.I agree with you,the vast majority of the translations of the bible we refer to are quite accurate.Check out my most recent post it covers some pretty important ground. God went to great lengths to make sure his Word was preserved throughout the ages.2Peter 1:3 tells us that God has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness. I think your in pretty good shape my brother. PS. You can find my e-mail address in my user profile. It would be good to hear from you. In Christ, lionheart |

RE: The Updated NAS Ryrie Study Bible: If I remember right, this was the first Bible available in the Updated NASB, and the only one available for a period of several months. I believe that final editing occurred on the 1995 Update after the Ryrie was published and prior to the publishing of other Bibles. Therefore, there would be some minor differences between the Ryrie and any other Bible using the 1995 Update. | ||||||

Thanks to everyone for the answers. Some time in about 2007, I checked all my memory verses for differences between the Ryrie version and the final 1995 NASB and re-memorized the ones that changed. It was only about 2-3 percent of all the verses I knew. | ||||||
