If the KJV was updated what would you suggest be updated?
Just for the record I believe the KJV should be updated to reflect the changes in the English language.
Titus 2:13 (KJV)
13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
It would be nice if the KJV was updated to reflect the Granville Sharp Rule where it is applicable.
Ruth 4:1 (KJV)
1 Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
In this example it would be nice if the KJV was made understandable to modern readers without having to reference another translation just to understand this passage.
I also would like an update to any word that has changed meanings since 1611. This type of an update would help the KJV accurately reflect the meaning of the verses by using a modern equivalent for the underlying text.
*Notice that I did not say change the KJV's underlying text.
Name any examples where you feel the KJV could be updated. Please avoid KJVO discussions. I'm not interested in opinions and KJVOism. Fact is the KJV has archaic words, words that have changed meanings from 1611, and some verses are just hard to understand.
I would like to see a civil discussion without name calling and attacking the Word of God as found in all faithful translations of the Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic Scriptures.
I fear if the KJV is not updated then it will join other great English bibles resting in museums having it's own place of high honor as a great bible.
