Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 4:1 | Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us have reverence lest any of you seem to have come short of it. |
| 4:2 | Because, the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. |
| 4:3 | Because, we who have believed do enter into rest, as He has said: "So I swore in My wrath, 'If they will enter into My rest,'" although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. |
| 4:4 | Because, He spoke in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works"; |
| 4:5 | and again in this place: "If they will enter into My rest." |
| 4:6 | Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of unbelief, |
| 4:7 | again He declares a certain day, saying in David, "Today," after such a long time, as it has been said: "Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts." |
| 4:8 | Because, if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not have afterward spoken about another day. |
| 4:9 | There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. |
| 4:10 | Because, he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his own works as God did from His. |
| 4:11 | Therefore let us labor to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of unbelief. |
| 4:12 | Because, the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. |
| 4:13 | Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. |
| 4:14 | Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. |
| 4:15 | Because, we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. |
| 4:16 | Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. |
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.
