https://archive.org/details/the-words-gone-global-exploring-bible-versions-2017-231024. As this book shows, all versions have strengths and weaknesses. There are a few overall messages, such as how good they generally are in conveying God’s written word to non-Christians and to Christians.

I’ve used the grades from this book, but only for a few of the versions and the tests it covers. In each category I’ve given A+ to the top scorer, and D- to the least scorer.

On God’s name: CJB (D-); EOB (C-); ESV (C-); KJV (C); NASB20 (C-); NET (C); NIV (C-); NJB (A+); NKJV (C-); NLT (C); NRSV (C-); NWT (B).

On Christ’s deificity: CJB (C); EOB (B+); ESV (B); KJV (B-); NASB20 (A-); NET (A+); NIV (A-); NJB (B+); NKJV (B); NLT (A); NRSV (A); NWT (D-).

On marriage: CJB (D-); EOB (C-); ESV (A); KJV (A+); NASB20 (A); NET (C+); NIV (C+); NJB (A+); NKJV (A+); NLT (D-); NRSV (C-); NWT (B).

On John’s Gospel: CJB (C+); EOB (B-); ESV (B+); KJV (D-); NASB20 (B-); NET (A); NIV (A+); NJB (C); NKJV (D+); NLT (A); NRSV (B+); NWT (C+).

On Gender accuracy: CJB (C-); EOB (C); ESV (D+); KJV (D-); NASB20 (C); NET (C); NIV (A); NJB (C); NKJV (D-); NLT (A+); NRSV (A+); NWT (D-).
