Holman CSB is now the default version for the online Bible on Crosswalk.com. I suggest using theCrosswalk Parallel Bible for comparison.

Genesis 1:1-5

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

3 Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good, and God separated the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light "day," and He called the darkness "night." Evening came, and then morning: the first day. -The Holman Christian Standard Bible

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was F1 on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day. -The King James Version (Authorized)

Psalm 23

1 The Lord is my shepherd;

there is nothing I lack. 2 He lets me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside quiet waters. 3 He renews my life;

He leads me along the right paths

for His name's sake. 4 Even when I go through the darkest valley,

I fear [no] danger,

for You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff -they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows. 6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

as long as I live. -HCSB

1 A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell F20 in the house of the Lord Forever. -KJV

Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,

and do not rely on your own understanding;

6 think about Him in all your ways,

and He will guide you on the right paths. -HCSB

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. -KJV

Luke 9:23-26

23 Then He said to them all, "If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it.

25 What is a man benefited if he gains the whole world, yet loses or forfeits himself?

26 For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes with His glory, and with the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels. -HCSB

23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?

26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. -KJV

John 1:1-5

1 In the beginning was the Word; and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 He was with God in the beginning.

3 All things were created through Him, and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.

4 In Him was life, and that life was the light of men.

5 That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it. -HCSB

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. -KJV

John 3:16

"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. -HCSB

Acts 4:12

"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved." -HCSB

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. -KJV

Revelation 22:18-21

18 I testify to everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book.

19 And if anyone takes away from the words of this prophetic book, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, written in this book.

20 He who testifies about these things says, "Yes, I am coming quickly." Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen. -HCSB

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. -KJV

[ted]

LOL!

I was only kidding, of course. when I posted that.

While I mainly use the KJV, I have referred to others at times. Rarely, that is.

I have not heard of nor read any of the version in question, so my opinion is useless on this matter.

Thanks,

[ted]

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

as long as I live. -HCSB

As long as I live?

And I will dwell F20 in the house of the Lord Forever. -KJV

Forever!

Quite a difference there, I would say.

I like the Holman version. It is very readable. I have it on my computer. It seems like a good translation. I have not studied it in depth, but what I have read in it, I liked.

Acts 2:1 When the day of Pentecost had arrived, they were all together in one place.(HSB)

Acts 2:1

[Khristeeanos]

I have had the NT for the HCSB for about 6 months and when I started reading it, I wasn't really that impressed.

I heard that it was done with a "Calvinistic slant" so I am kind of weary of it.

I have it sitting right next to me now - next to my Catholic New American Bible and my Jewish Tanakh translated by the JPS and my Tim LaHaye Prophecy Study Bible and my Amplified Bible and my..........get my point?

You can read it all for yourself at your leasure at this link....

Looks ok to me, but I only skimmed through 1/2 pf the book of Matthew so far.

[Guest Amazed of Grace]

I found this info on it. Although this is not the full text of the article, you see that main reason for the translation in the first place.

This version of the Bible was planned and sponsored by the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist Convention (renamed "LifeWay Christian Resources" of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1998). The publisher, Broadman & Holman, is that agency's publishing house. The Holman Christian Standard Bible (CSB) was conceived as a replacement for the NIV, which the SBC Sunday School Board had been using in its curriculum materials under a license agreement. The NIV became controversial after the International Bible Society acknowledged in 1997 that it was revising the NIV with "politically correct" gender-neutral language, and so in 1998 the Sunday School Board entered into an agreement with Arthur Farstad (formerly the editor of the New King James Version) for him to oversee the production of a new version that would be under its own control. Soon afterward, Farstad died, and Edwin Blum was appointed general editor in his place.

The version was produced by a large team of translators and stylists, and a smaller editorial team meeting in Dallas, Texas. About a third of the team members are Southern Baptist. Other team members are Plymouth Brethren, Presbyterians (PCA), Congregationalists, Church of England, Church of God, Evangelical Free Church, Methodists, Evangelical Mennonites and Episcopalians.

The motivation behind the version was explained by David R. Shepherd, vice president of Bible publishing for Broadman & Holman, in an article which appeared in the SBC's Baptist Press while the New Testament was under preparation:

"Some recent translations have reinterpreted the Bible to make it consistent with current trends and their own way of thinking ... Current trends in Bible translation have been a real wake-up call for everybody who's concerned about preserving the integrity of Scripture. The CSB will be under the stewardship of Christians who believe we should conform our lives and culture to the Bible - not the other way around." (1)
