Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 1:1 | Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia: |
| 1:2 | Grace be to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1:3 | Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, |
| 1:4 | who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. |
| 1:5 | Because, as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds by Christ. |
| 1:6 | Now if we are afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effective for enduring the same sufferings which we also suffer. Or if we are comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. |
| 1:7 | And our hope for you is unshaken, because, we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will also be of the consolation. |
| 1:8 | Because, we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. |
| 1:9 | But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, |
| 1:10 | who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver, |
| 1:11 | you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by the means of many people on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many. |
| 1:12 | Because our rejoicing is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you. |
| 1:13 | Because, we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or acknowledge, and I trust you will acknowledge, even to the end; |
| 1:14 | as also you have acknowledged us partially, that we are your rejoicing, just as you also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus. |
| 1:15 | And in this confidence I intended to come to you before, that you might have a second benefit; |
| 1:16 | to visit you on the way to Macedonia, to return again from Macedonia to you, and be brought on my way toward Judea. |
| 1:17 | Therefore, when I was planning this, did I do it lightly? Or the things I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be Yes, Yes, and No, No? |
| 1:18 | But as God is true, our word to you was not Yes and No. |
| 1:19 | Because, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not Yes and No, but in Him was Yes. |
| 1:20 | Because, all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God by us. |
| 1:21 | Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, |
| 1:22 | who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. |
| 1:23 | Moreover I call God to record against my soul, that to spare you I have not yet come to Corinth. |
| 1:24 | Not that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers for your joy; because by faith you stand. |
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.
