Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 5:1 | The elders who are among you I exhort, who am also an elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: |
| 5:2 | Feed the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by obligation but willingly, not for dishonest gain, but with an eager mind; |
| 5:3 | nor as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock; |
| 5:4 | and when the Chief Shepherd will appear, you will receive a crown of glory that does not fade away. |
| 5:5 | Likewise you younger ones, submit yourselves to the elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, because, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." |
| 5:6 | Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, |
| 5:7 | casting all your burdens upon Him, because He cares for you. |
| 5:8 | Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. |
| 5:9 | Resist him steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are experienced by your brethren who are in the world. |
| 5:10 | But may the God of all grace, who has called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. |
| 5:11 | To Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. |
| 5:12 | By Silvanus, a faithful brother to you as I consider him, I have written to you briefly, exhorting and testifying that this is the true grace of God in which you stand. |
| 5:13 | The church who is in Babylon, elect together with you, greets you; and so does Mark my son. |
| 5:14 | Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace be to you all who are in Christ Jesus. Amen. |
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.
