Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 3:1 | Also know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: |
| 3:2 | Because, men will be lovers of themselves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, |
| 3:3 | without natural affection, covenant breakers, slanderers, without self control, brutal, despisers of those who are good, |
| 3:4 | traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, |
| 3:5 | having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! |
| 3:6 | Because, of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, |
| 3:7 | always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. |
| 3:8 | Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; |
| 3:9 | but they will progress no further, because their folly will be manifest to all people, as theirs also was. |
| 3:10 | But you have fully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, |
| 3:11 | persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra, what persecutions I endured, but the Lord delivered me out of them all. |
| 3:12 | Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. |
| 3:13 | But evil men and seducers will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. |
| 3:14 | But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, |
| 3:15 | and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. |
| 3:16 | All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, |
| 3:17 | that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly equipped for every good work. |
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.
