King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 1:1 | Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, |
| 1:2 | To Timothy, my dearly beloved son. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. |
| 1:3 | I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, that without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, |
| 1:4 | greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, |
| 1:5 | when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. |
| 1:6 | Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. |
| 1:7 | Because, God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. |
| 1:8 | Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the afflictions for the gospel according to the power of God, |
| 1:9 | who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, |
| 1:10 | but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, |
| 1:11 | to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. |
| 1:12 | For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day. |
| 1:13 | Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. |
| 1:14 | That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us. |
| 1:15 | This you know, that all those in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes. |
| 1:16 | The Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; |
| 1:17 | but when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently and found me. |
| 1:18 | The Lord grant to him that he may find mercy from the Lord in that Day, and you know very well how many ways he ministered to me at Ephesus. |
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.
