KJV is a translation of the bible...the King James Version. Strongs is a concordance (an alphabetical listing of all the words appearing in the bible). Strongs is a study aid...it allows you to read a translation of the bible and then go back and look up the meanings of the words in the original language.

Strong's has numbers beside many of the words - these numbers correspond with the word's definition & root language. KJV can come with or without Strong's numbers. He also developed a concordenance (the dictionary in the back of the Bible).

KJV is the Bible. Strongs is the concordance (word look up) for the Bible, to find a word that you're searching for in the Bible.

Please understand Strongs is a dictionary,
It is slanted toward the usage of the KJV and the trinity.
There are better dictionaries out there.
Col 2:9 has 'Godhead' as the definition of the Greek word
theotÄs
yet more accurate dictionaries state that it means
divine nature and is a quality and not an identification.
Liddell and Scott's A Greek-English Lexicon, in its new ninth edition, completed in 1940 and reprinted in 1948, Volume I, defines the two terms in the light of ancient usages apart from the Scriptures. Theiótes it defines as "divine nature, divinity" (page 788). Theótes it defines in exactly the same way, as "divinity, divine nature," and then cites as an example Colossians 2:9.

Strongs is a Concordance. KJV is the Bible.
BIG difference.

Strong's is a concordance. It has a lot of study stuff like the original Greek and Hebrew words.
May the Lord richly bless you.
