The KJV is being updated

[37818]

I am still wondering if you can name one that is an acceptable modern edition of the KJV.

In any case this is a matter of opinion. Two are the Modern KJV [1962] and the New KJV [NKJV]. They have differences. MKJV is by Jay P. Green, NKJV is by Thomas Nelson Publishers.

Neither one is a strict update of the KJV; both of them newly translated the original languages, and therefore have different meanings than the KJV in some verses.

Please pick two or three examples of what you have in mind.

@GlorifyGod,
Maybe what was done in the New Scofield Reference Bible might be closer to what you have in mind.

For example, you could compare the KJV and NKJV in Gen. 24:22 and Gen 49:6.

It is not at all in modern English. It left much of the archaic language.

One extreme or the other. Too little or too much change. How do you define what is the correct. Give a few references of what you have in mind. Even a few verses you can do.
