King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 22:1 | And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. |
| 22:2 | In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, there was the tree of life, which bore twelve types of fruit, and each tree yielded her fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. |
| 22:3 | And there will be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve Him. |
| 22:4 | And they will see His face, and His name will be in their foreheads. |
| 22:5 | And there will be no night there: And they need no lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God gives them light. And they will reign forever and ever. |
| 22:6 | Then he said to me, "These words are faithful and true." And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show to His servants the things which must suddenly take place. |
| 22:7 | "Behold, I come suddenly! Blessed is he who keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book." |
| 22:8 | Now I, John saw these things and heard them. And when I had heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. |
| 22:9 | Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that, because, I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book. Worship God." |
| 22:10 | And he said to me, "Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is at hand. |
| 22:11 | He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he who is holy, let him be holy still." |
| 22:12 | "And behold, I am coming suddenly; and my reward is with Me, to give to every one according as his work shall be." |
| 22:13 | I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." |
| 22:14 | Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. |
| 22:15 | But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices a lie. |
| 22:16 | "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the Bright and Morning Star." |
| 22:17 | And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. And whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. |
| 22:18 | Because, I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; |
| 22:19 | and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. |
| 22:20 | He who testifies these things says, "Surely I am coming suddenly." Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! |
| 22:21 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. 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.
