By the way, the ESV continues to be a great translation to read. I have now completed Joshua and Luke, in addition to the nine books I previously read. I’m also most of the way through Judges and Acts too.

Individual verses are almost identical to other translations, but for some reason the flow of the text just feels better. It’s not something I can put my finger on. Before, my favorite translation was the NASB, but I’ve found the ESV to be more readable in long passages and just as accurate. So I’m thinking I’ll switch to being an ESV advocate (which isn’t to knock the NASB, this is just a personal preference).
