King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 2:1 | And you He has made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, |
| 2:2 | in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience, |
| 2:3 | among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. |
| 2:4 | But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, |
| 2:5 | even when we were dead in sins, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved), |
| 2:6 | and has raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, |
| 2:7 | that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. |
| 2:8 | Because, it is by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, |
| 2:9 | not of works, lest anyone should boast. |
| 2:10 | Because, we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. |
| 2:11 | Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands, |
| 2:12 | that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. |
| 2:13 | But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. |
| 2:14 | Because, He is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation between us, |
| 2:15 | having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to make in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, |
| 2:16 | and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body by the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. |
| 2:17 | And came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. |
| 2:18 | Because, through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father. |
| 2:19 | Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, |
| 2:20 | and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, |
| 2:21 | in whom the entire building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, |
| 2:22 | in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God through the Spirit. |
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.
