The '''New American Standard Bible''' (NASB) is a modern [[English language]] translation of the [[Bible]]. It is fully accessible online.<ref>http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/</ref>
It is based on the 1901 [[American Standard Version]], but seeks to provide a smoother reading in contemporary English. Old English "thee's" and "thou's" are replaced and words and phrases have been updated to the extent there familiar meanings have changed. Sentences beginning with "and" have been changed, sometimes substituting "then" or "but" depending on the context. Through consultation with original [[Hebrew]] and [[Greek]] texts, some passages have been corrected.

The original NASB claims to be the most accurate English Bible translation, conveying the meaning without changing it to suit modern views.
