The Holy Bible – Why I Use the NKJV

The Bible is God’s Word — 66 books (39 Old Testament, 27 New Testament) that reveal His plan of salvation.


I choose the New King James Version (NKJV) because:


  • It keeps the beauty of the classic King James but updates old words.
  • It uses the same manuscript tradition as the KJV, while also noting differences in footnotes.
  • It’s faithful, clear, and reliable for study, worship, and daily reading.



What about the NIV?


  • The NIV has all 66 books — none are missing.
  • About 16 verses found in the KJV/NKJV are not in the NIV’s main text but appear in footnotes (because older manuscripts didn’t include them).
  • These are single verses/phrases, not whole books or chapters.



Examples of verses not in the NIV main text:


  • Matthew 17:21 – “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
  • Matthew 18:11 – “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.”
  • Mark 9:44 and Mark 9:46 – “Where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.”
  • Acts 8:37 – Philip said, “If you believe with all your heart, you may.” And the eunuch answered, “I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.”



These are included in the NKJV, but in the NIV you’ll find them in footnotes.



🎬 Films That Changed Me
