Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 5:1 | Because, every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. |
| 5:2 | He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and on those who are going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness. |
| 5:3 | And because of this he ought, just as for the people so also for himself, to offer for sins. |
| 5:4 | And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was. |
| 5:5 | So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become a High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: "You are My Son, today I have begotten You." |
| 5:6 | As He also says in another place: "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek"; |
| 5:7 | who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with strong cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because He had respect, |
| 5:8 | though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. |
| 5:9 | And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, |
| 5:10 | called by God as High Priest "according to the order of Melchizedek," |
| 5:11 | of whom we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. |
| 5:12 | Because, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you require that someone teaches you again what are the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have become such as have need of milk and not solid food. |
| 5:13 | Because, everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, because he is a babe. |
| 5:14 | But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. |
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.
