The "New King James Version" is not a King James and it is not new. See below where I expose it as a godless piece of dung that took you justification out of the text and then said that the Holy Spirit does not work on the earth during the tribulation period. It also teaches that people were baptized "into Moses" and that Paul re-baptized converts. It also says that Paul preached the "new covenant" which is a terrible lie.
We saw that we are justified by the faith of Christ and not our faith in this post http://av1611studyblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/faith-in-christ-and-faith-of-christ.html But the NKJV says that you are justified by your own faith, which requires works to be perfected according to James 2:17-26.
NKJV: Romans 3:22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all
AV 1611: Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
NKJV: Galatians 2:16, 20 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
AV 1611: Galatians 2:16, 20 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
NKJV: Philippians 3:9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
AV 1611: Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Your justification by faith is not found in the NKJV.
NKJV: Acts 19:
4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
AV 1611: Acts 19:
[4] Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
[5] When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Notice the quote marks in the NKJV stop with verse 4 and make verse 5 referring to something Paul did. Why would Paul re-baptize? There is nothing in the passage that would make anyone need to be re-baptized. The AV 1611 does not even have quote marks and does not make Paul re-baptize anybody. Paul just revied John's message in verses 4-5 and then laid hands on them to give them the baptism with the Holy Ghost. The NKJV reading makes no sense.
NKJV: 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.
AV 1611: 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
The context is the rapture and the tribulation period. The NKJV capitalized "he" to make it the Holy Spirit, but it ain't. That "he" is referring to the body of Christ, the Holy Spirit is not taken out of the earth during the tribulation period because people are going to be filled with Him doing signs and wonders. The NKJV reading is confusing, stupid, and it promotes false teaching.
NKJV: 1 Corinthians 10:
Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, 2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea,
AV 1611: 1 Corinthians 10:
[1] Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
[2] And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
There the NKJV told you that they were baptized INTO Moses, but nobody was ever baptized into Moses. The only person anybody has ever been baptized into is Jesus Christ because only Jesus Christ has a spiritual body made up of all believers in the church age. 1 Corinthians 12:12-13 says, "For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit."
NKJV: 2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit;
AV 1611: 2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
There the NKJV made Paul a minister of the New Covenant rather than the New Testament. Paul was a minister of the New Testament blood of Christ but he was not a minister of Israel's New Covenant. The problem is the NKJV translators didn't know the difference between a testament and a covenant and they did not know right division.
The New Covenant is for Israel, not the body of Christ. The New Covenant is established after the tribulation period for the kingdom gospel believers as seen here Mark 16:15-16, Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19, 15:11, Matthew 19:21, 24:13, James 2:17-26, 1 Peter 1:7-11, 3:20-21, 1 John 1:9, 2:3-4, 3:6, 5:1-5, 2 John 1:9, Revelation 2:5, 16, 23, 26, 3:16, 14:12, 22:14, Ezekiel 36:24-28, Jeremiah 31:33-36, 32:37-40, and Romans 11:26-27. Then of course the body of Christ church age believer is instantly justified from all things having already forgiven us all trespasses according to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Colossians 1:13-14, Ephesians 1:7, Romans 3:21-31, 4:1-25, 5:1-21, Galatians 2:16, 20, and Colossians 2:6-14.
The New "King James" Version is still a corrupt piece of garbage no matter if it has "King James" in the name or not.
