The KJB, I heard, is the closest thing to the greek transcripts so why did they change up so much in the NIV and the other new versions. It's easy to read but they took out and added some stuff.
Take John 3:16(yes the most popular verse)
KJB: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
NIV: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Notice how the NIV version says that Jesus was God's only version but the KJB version says otherwise. Aren't we all of God's sons and daughters? Wasn't Adam also God's son?
