Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 4:1 | Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your lust for pleasure that war in your members? |
| 4:2 | You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. |
| 4:3 | You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. |
| 4:4 | You adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. |
| 4:5 | Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"? |
| 4:6 | But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." |
| 4:7 | Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. |
| 4:8 | Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double minded. |
| 4:9 | Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. |
| 4:10 | Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. |
| 4:11 | Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of his brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. |
| 4:12 | There is one Lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. Who are you to judge another? |
| 4:13 | Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; |
| 4:14 | whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. Because what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. |
| 4:15 | Instead you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that." |
| 4:16 | But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. |
| 4:17 | Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. |
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.
