Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 1:1 | God, who at various times and in diverse ways spoke in time past to the fathers through the prophets, |
| 1:2 | has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the ages; |
| 1:3 | who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, |
| 1:4 | having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. |
| 1:5 | Because, to which of the angels did He ever say: "You are My Son, today I have begotten You"? And again: "I will be to Him a Father, and He will be to Me a Son"? |
| 1:6 | But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: "Let all the angels of God worship Him." |
| 1:7 | And of the angels He says: "Who makes His angels spirits and His ministers a flame of fire." |
| 1:8 | But to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. |
| 1:9 | You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; Therefore God, even Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your companions." |
| 1:10 | And: "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. |
| 1:11 | They will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like clothing; |
| 1:12 | And like a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years will not fail." |
| 1:13 | But to which of the angels has He ever said: "Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool"? |
| 1:14 | Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation? |
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.
