Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 5:1 | Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him. |
| 5:2 | By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. |
| 5:3 | Because, this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome. |
| 5:4 | Because, whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. |
| 5:5 | Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? |
| 5:6 | This is He who came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. |
| 5:7 | Because there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. |
| 5:8 | And there are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree in one. |
| 5:9 | If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater; because this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son. |
| 5:10 | He who believes on the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he does not believe the record that God gave of His Son. |
| 5:11 | And this is the record: that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. |
| 5:12 | He who has the Son has life; and he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. |
| 5:13 | These things I have written to you who believe on the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God. |
| 5:14 | Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. |
| 5:15 | And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired from Him. |
| 5:16 | If anyone sees his brother sin a sin which is not leading to death, he shall ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray for that. |
| 5:17 | All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death. |
| 5:18 | We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been begotten of God keeps himself, and that wicked one does not touch him. |
| 5:19 | And we know that we are of God, and the entire world lies in wickedness. |
| 5:20 | And we know that the Son of God came, and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, even in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. |
| 5:21 | Little children, keep yourselves from idols. 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.
