What is the Christian Standard Bible? 

I couldn't agree more. I have now a He reads truth and CSB study bible 2017 edition and a Verse-by-verse 2020 edition. That's kind of weird.

One can access it for free on Bible Gateway.

I love my NASB

how did that go? I'd suggest learning a bit about manuscript collections, the one used in the CSB and KJV contrast in a lot of areas

Why do these translations have Matthew 19:9 as "sexual immorality" when the word is "fornication" You could say that your spouse looking at pornography is sexually immoral, but is it the same as "fornication" ? No, not quite because fornication is sexual intercourse with someone not your spouse. Sexual immorality is a weak rendering of the Greek pornia, it is actually a broader idea than God spoke. I am amazed in this day and age with the number of people that I see wanting a deeper Bible study but leave KJV when they could keep KJV and study from any other translation by internet researches.

What are your thoughts on the leather bible you bought?

I thought it was mainly based on the Tyndale?

So how did you figure that out? You researched it. But this seeking for better and better translations is silly to me. There is confusion that God did not intend.

Thanks for the encouraging words and for the suggestion!

Yeah, the sound IS excellent. I’d like to know what kind of microphone they’re using.

Hello Henry, Thanks for posting a message. Yes, you are correct that the HCSB will no longer be printed and is being replaced by the CSB. Have a great rest of the weekend!

Where have you been Henry? We all knew about this for a year. The ESV and NIV are tough competition and Holman had to do some serious rebooting with the CSB to stay competitive. It is basically just the average the vicissitudes of Publishing companies operating on the Free Market.....

William S. The Apocrypha isn’t from God

@@gc1599 Your opinion. Catholic and Orthodox Christians would disagree.

Hello! Here is a link to the manuscripts used while translating. Thanks! csbible.com/ministry/pastor-faqs/#faq/what-manuscripts-were-used-when-translating-the-christian-standard-bible

You have some issues. First you assume if a verse isn’t in a bible it’s been taken out vs the kjv adding it. Second many, many passages and words are gender inclusive and the old English of the kjv changed that original meaning of the authors

Praise the Lord for your deliverance and liberation; happy for you :-)

The NIV being horrendous is a huge exaggeration.

I think you mean added verses xD But yeah, they should be included for good measure

​@@ethanwasme4307Definitely missing. Some, such as Acts 8:37, were quoted by ancient church fathers before the dodgy older manuscripts (that suddenly turned up again in the 19th century - so much for God preserving his word!) were even written.

I agree but at the same time, I can barely understand my King James Version, so this CSB version is really way more effective for me.

If you have trouble reading and understanding the KJV, perhaps my granddaughter of 7 years could give you some help. That is the weakest argument given. In terms of accuracy and readability the KJV is easiest according to the Flesch/Kinkade reading levels study. I find using an English dictionary is also helpful for unknown words...even the CSB has words that need to be defined. What do you do with the verses that are missing in the CSB but in the Greek? And, what version has lasted over 400 years as the standard for church evangelism and gospel revivals in the USA and Europe? Seen more conversions to Christ than any version known to man and used as the 'standard' of comparison for centuries? And one more, not one error has been proven in it when it comes to geography, biography, history, poetry, doctrine, or any other study of man. Let's face it. There is no other Bible that comes close to the KJV...even when you compare all to the 'standard'! Just a note: the CSB is an eclectic version of the NASB which is a revision of the ASV which is the American version of the RSV of 1881 of Wescott and Hort. Most modern versions are based on a common Greek text (Nestle/Aland 4) which is a Roman Catholic Greek text which all modern versions are compiled from as far as Greek text. The KJV is from the Traditional text going back to the second century use in the churches of Asia Minor and Europe.

Shirley Gray Your post reminds me that I’m glad I’m no longer apart of the “KJV only” crowd. So much hate and pride in your post, but that is the “KJV only” crowd for ya. I’ve found so much more love and passion for Jesus outside of that crowd. As I said I used to be “KJV only”, but I did a lot research on the HCSB(not CSB) and found it used the original text that the KJV used, and had 100 scholars work on the translation so as to ensure accuracy. I love the accuracy and readability of the HCSB, along with the use of Yahweh and capitalization of the Lords pronouns. Now the CSB messed everything up that was good about the HCSB, won’t ever be buying one of those.

Why doesn’t anybody say anything about the English standard version? pretty accurate. ESV.

Shirly gray goes to a very lonely and sad church. Must be so lonely thinking only your way of thinking is correct.

It was also "debts/debtors" in the Geneva Bible, which predates the KJV. If anything, the KJV is the odd man out on this one.

You know the KJV was originally published with the Apocrypha, right?

Sadly, money is the only motivator. There is literally no good reason to make a new English translation. We already have more than enough that are accurate and readible and no archaeological discoveries of older manuscripts have been made recently. Literally the only reason for new translations at this point is to make publishers a bit of extra cash and keep pompous translators in work.

Diana Bangerter I think you mean added.

No

That’s a lie.

Islam is a false gospel.
