To me it's much easier to read and understand than the KJV (AV). As an example here are two completely random verses, I just opened my KJV and this is what I saw: Luke X:8 (KJV) "And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: Here is the corresponding NIV version: Luke X:8 (NIV) " When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is set before you. The NIV is just easier to read. It has been translated into "modern" English, and not the "Kings English" of the early 17th century. Phrases such as: "Verily, Verily I say unto you..." and puts them into the modern: "I tell you the truth..." Hope this helps Russ |

seek after leasing; fetched a compass [Russ: Good quotes from the KJV to illustrate your point. Here are two more. Note the difference in clarity between the two versions. --Kalos] "seek after leasing" Psalm 4:2 King James Version (KJV) O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? New International Version (NIV) How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame? How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? "fetched a compass" Acts 28:13 King James Version (KJV) And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli: New International Version (NIV) From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli. |
