Textus Receptus Bibles
King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 9:1 | Now concerning the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you; |
| 9:2 | Because, I know your willingness, about which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has stirred up the majority. |
| 9:3 | Yet I have sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this respect, that, you may be ready, as I said; |
| 9:4 | lest if some Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we (that we do not mention you) should be ashamed of this confident boasting. |
| 9:5 | Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren to go to you ahead of time, and prepare your generous gift beforehand, of which you had previous notification, that it may be ready as a matter of generosity and not as a grudging obligation. |
| 9:6 | But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. |
| 9:7 | So let each one give, according as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; because, God loves a cheerful giver. |
| 9:8 | And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. |
| 9:9 | As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." |
| 9:10 | Now He who supplies seed to the sower, also supply bread for your food, multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness, |
| 9:11 | being enriched in everything for all abundance, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. |
| 9:12 | Because, the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God, |
| 9:13 | while, through the proof of this ministry, they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution to them and all people, |
| 9:14 | and by their prayer for you, who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you. |
| 9:15 | Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! |
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.
