The NASB is accurate in a word-for-word sense, which is good for some reasons, but bad for other reasons. It’s a good translation if you don’t know ancient Greek or Hebrew and you want a word for word translation. It’s bad if you want a Bible which flows easily when you’re reading it aloud.

Which is better NIV or NASB?
NASB is the most unbiased translation I know and it is super-faithful to the original texts. It might be a little stiff on the downside; and I would recommend an NIV or an NLT for people who are young in faith. However, if you are a serious student of the word, I suggest the NASB or ESV.
