Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 4:1 | Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, |
| 4:2 | speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, |
| 4:3 | forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God has created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. |
| 4:4 | Because, every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving; |
| 4:5 | because it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. |
| 4:6 | If you put the brethren in remembrance of these things, you will be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully pursued. |
| 4:7 | But reject profane and old wives' fables, and instead exercise yourself toward godliness. |
| 4:8 | Because, bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. |
| 4:9 | This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. |
| 4:10 | Because, to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. |
| 4:11 | These things command and teach. |
| 4:12 | Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. |
| 4:13 | Until I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. |
| 4:14 | Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. |
| 4:15 | Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. |
| 4:16 | Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, because in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. |
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.
