The King James Authorized Version 1611 Holy Bible comes from the line of Antioch which in Acts 11:26 (KJV) says that "And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." The New King James Version comes from the line of Alexandria, Egypt which is a corrupt city with corrupt manuscripts. The King James Authorized Version 1611 Holy Bible is the seventh Bible from the line of Antioch which was a great city. The Bible says in Psalms 12:6-7 (KJV) that "The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever" The Bible has been purified seven times and the King James Authorized Version 1611 Holy Bible is the seventh and last Bible in the line of Antioch. Any other Bible is a perversion of God's Word and is in the line of Alexandrian manuscripts. See chick.com and kjv1611.org for more information.

NKJV is an attempt to keep the beauty of the language in the KJV but update English words that no longer mean what they meant when the translation was originally done. Think of the plays of Shakespeare for an illustration of how much English has changed since then. Other new translations are based on an improved understanding of ancient Greek and Hebrew languages,or are an attempt to use modern English.

The KJV Bible was directly translated from the original Greek and Hebrew text it was written in. The NKJV Bible was translated from the KJV Bible...it's a translation of a translation. It is some one's interpretation of the KJV Bible. I ONLY read the KJV Bible...I can interpret it for myself. I don't need some one else interpreting it for me.

The NKJV simply eliminates the old King James english words like doth and hath and so on. The text is the same otherwise.

NKJV is based on corrupted text.
Stick with the King James.

Jeezus...Your an apparent unbeliever form some of your stupid answers so, how in the world would you have any idea in the difference between the 2 bibles. I'd bet money you have never opened let alone actually read anything in either of the 2 bibles or any other bible for that matter. Idiot

It is a direct translation of the same corpus of hebrew/greek texts as the original KJV, in great part ignoring new findings.
(no it is not a translation of the original English KJV as some have said)
The NKJV attempts to reproduce the "style" of the KJV, while modernising the language.

More stupidity? There is a Bible that is documented to be a true and un-adulterated translation from the original documents.
Why bother with another NEW translation of an abomination.
Get the best at any Catholic book store.
