Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 2:1 | But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: |
| 2:2 | that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; |
| 2:3 | the older women likewise, that they demonstrate holiness in behavior, not slanderers, not slaves to wine bingeing, teachers of good things; |
| 2:4 | that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, |
| 2:5 | to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. |
| 2:6 | Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober minded, |
| 2:7 | in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing incorruptibility reverence, integrity, |
| 2:8 | sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. |
| 2:9 | Exhort servants to be obedient to their own masters, and to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, |
| 2:10 | not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things. |
| 2:11 | Because, the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, |
| 2:12 | teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, |
| 2:13 | looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God even our Savior Jesus Christ, |
| 2:14 | who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. |
| 2:15 | Speak these things, exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise 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.
