Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 4:1 | Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. |
| 4:2 | But we have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. |
| 4:3 | But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, |
| 4:4 | whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. |
| 4:5 | Because, we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. |
| 4:6 | Because God, who commanded light to shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. |
| 4:7 | But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. |
| 4:8 | We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; |
| 4:9 | persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; |
| 4:10 | always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. |
| 4:11 | Because, we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. |
| 4:12 | So then death is working in us, but life in you. |
| 4:13 | We having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke," we also believe and therefore speak, |
| 4:14 | knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up by Jesus, and will present us with you. |
| 4:15 | Because, all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace may through the thanksgiving of many, abound to the glory of God. |
| 4:16 | Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. |
| 4:17 | Because, our light affliction, which is only for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, |
| 4:18 | while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. Because, the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. |
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.
