Version Information

While preserving the literal accuracy of the 1901 
ASV, the NASB has sought to render grammar and 
terminology in contemporary English. Special attention
has been given to the rendering of verb tenses to 
give the English reader a rendering as close as 
possible to the sense of the original Greek and Hebrew
texts. In 1995, the text of the NASB was updated 
for greater understanding and smoother reading. 
The New American Standard Bible present on the Bible Gateway
matches the 1995 printing.

The New American Standard Bible Update - 1995
Easier to read:
list of 4 items
• Passages with Old English "thee's" and "thou's" 
etc. have been updated to modern English.
• Words and Phrases that could be misunderstood 
due to changes in their meaning during the past 
20 years have been updated to current English.
• Verses with difficult word order or vocabulary 
have been retranslated into smoother English.
• Sentences beginning with "And" have often been 
retranslated for better English, in recognition 
of differences in style between the ancient languages and
modern English. The original Greek and Hebrew did 
not have punctuation as is found in English, and 
in many cases modern English punctuation serves as a
substitute for "And" in the original. In some 
other cases, "and" is translated by a different 
word such as "then" or "but" as called for by the context,
when the word in the original language allows such translation.
list end

More accurate than ever:

list of 3 items
• Recent research on the oldest and best Greek 
manuscripts of the New Testament has been 
reviewed, and some passages have been updated for even greater
fidelity to the original manuscripts.
• Parallel passages have been compared and reviewed.
• Verbs that have a wide range of meaning have 
been retranslated in some passages to better 
account for their use in the context.
list end

And still the NASB:

list of 3 items
• The NASB update is not a 
change-for-the-sake-of-change translation. The 
original NASB stands the test of time, and change has been kept to a minimum in
recognition of the standard that has been set by 
the New American Standard Bible.
• The NASB update continues the NASB's tradition 
of literal translation of the original Greek and 
Hebrew without compromise. Changes in the text have been
kept within the strict parameters set forth by 
the Lockman Foundation's Fourfold Aim.
• The translators and consultants who have 
contributed to the NASB update are conservative 
Bible scholars who have doctorates in Biblical languages, theology,
or other advanced degrees. They represent a 
variety of denominational backgrounds.
list end

Continuing a tradition:
The original NASB has earned the reputation of 
being the most accurate English Bible 
translation. The NASB update carries on the NASB tradition of being
a true Bible translation, revealing what the 
original manuscripts actually say--not merely 
what the translator believes they mean.
