Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 3:1 | And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, even as to babes in Christ. |
| 3:2 | I have fed you with milk and not with solid food; because until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; |
| 3:3 | because you are still carnal. Because where there is envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and walk like men? |
| 3:4 | Because when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal? |
| 3:5 | Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each person? |
| 3:6 | I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. |
| 3:7 | So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. |
| 3:8 | Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. |
| 3:9 | Because, we are God's coworkers; you are God's field, you are God's building. |
| 3:10 | According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. |
| 3:11 | Because no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. |
| 3:12 | Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, |
| 3:13 | each one's work will be revealed; because the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. |
| 3:14 | If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. |
| 3:15 | If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. |
| 3:16 | Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? |
| 3:17 | If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. Because the temple of God is holy, which temple you are. |
| 3:18 | Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may be wise. |
| 3:19 | Because the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. Because it is written, "He traps the wise in their own craftiness"; |
| 3:20 | and again, "The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain." |
| 3:21 | Therefore let no one boast in men. Because all things are yours: |
| 3:22 | whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come; all are yours. |
| 3:23 | And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's. |
King James Bible 2016
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
