Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 3:1 | Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, |
| 3:2 | who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house. |
| 3:3 | Because, this Man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He who built the house has more honor than the house. |
| 3:4 | Because every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God. |
| 3:5 | And truly Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward, |
| 3:6 | but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold firmly to the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firmly to the end. |
| 3:7 | Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you will hear His voice, |
| 3:8 | do not harden your hearts as in the provocation, in the day of trial in the wilderness, |
| 3:9 | where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works forty years. |
| 3:10 | Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said, 'They always deceive in their heart, and they have not known My ways.' |
| 3:11 | So I swore in My wrath, 'They will not enter into My rest.'" |
| 3:12 | Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; |
| 3:13 | but exhort one another daily, while it is called "Today," lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. |
| 3:14 | Because, we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence firmly to the end, |
| 3:15 | while it is said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the provocation." |
| 3:16 | Because some, having heard, did provoke. However not all who came out of Egypt by Moses. |
| 3:17 | Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? |
| 3:18 | And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not believe? |
| 3:19 | So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. |
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.
