The New American Standard Bible (NASB) is a fresh translation from the original Hebrew and Greek languages. It is marked by an exacting word for word equivalence. This often comes at the cost of a smooth sentence style. It reads somewhat roughly, but is in modern English. The NASB is excellent for word studies and studying the syntax and grammar of a sentence.
Since the NASB is not in the public domain it is not freely distributable. This means there is no download of this text available.
