The
NASB Update
Since its
completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible
has been widely acclaimed as “the most literally
accurate translation” from the original languages.
Millions of people, students, scholars, pastors,
missionaries, and laypersons alike, have trusted the NASB,
learning from it and applying it to the challenges of
their daily lives. With the NASB,
anyone can discover what the original text really says,
word for word, because it is considered the most literal
translation of the Bible in the English language,
consistently following the oldest and best manuscripts.
The NASB update continues this commitment to accuracy,
while increasing clarity and readability. Vocabulary,
grammar, and sentence structure have been carefully
updated for greater understanding and smoother reading.
The updated NASB remains the most literally accurate
Bible in the English language.
The smoother
reading NASB
update refines
the differences in style between the ancient languages
and current English. In
the process, Old English "thees," "thys,"
and "thous," archaic vocabulary, and sentences
beginning with "And" have been updated for
better English, while verses with difficult word order
were restructured.
In addition,
parallel passages have been compared and reviewed and
verbs that have a wide range of meaning have been
updated to better account for their use in the context.
Proper names or titles have been used in place of
pronouns only when the context made it clear who the
person was. Punctuation and paragraphing have been
formatted to fit today’s standards. Also,
the notes about ancient manuscripts, which have appeared
in most editions of the NASB,
have been reviewed and, in many cases, feature new and
more specific interesting facts.
Instead of
telling the reader what to think, the NASB
update provides the most precise translation
with which to conduct a personal journey through the
Word of God.
