Why not use the NKJV instead of KJV?

AI overview

Some traditional readers prefer the King James Version (KJV) over the New King James Version (NKJV) because they prefer its poetic 17th-century prose, the precise singular/plural pronoun distinctions in the original languages, or a strict adherence to traditional underlying manuscripts without modern footnotes. 

Reasons for Preferring KJV Over NKJV

Literary Style and Memorization: The majestic, rhythmic language of the 1611 Authorized Version has centuries of devotional heritage, making it significantly easier to memorize for many believers. 
Loss of Pronoun Distinction: The KJV preserves specific second-person pronouns (thou, thee, ye, you) to show whether a pronoun is singular or plural, matching the underlying Hebrew and Greek. The NKJV modernizes these to standard "you," losing that immediate grammatical clarity. 
Distrust of Footnotes: "KJV-only" or strict Textus Receptus proponents dislike the NKJV's inclusion of critical text variant readings in the footnotes, believing it introduces unnecessary doubt about manuscript integrity. 
Perceived Compromise: Some traditionalist groups argue that the NKJV translation committee occasionally leaned toward modern critical texts or dynamic choices rather than staying 100% faithful to the traditional Received Text (Textus Receptus) in every single verse.

The New King James Bible Examined

By M. H. Reynolds, Editor, Foundation Magazine

WHAT ABOUT THE NEW KING JAMES BIBLE? In this article, we want to share with God's people some of the important facts which led us to reject the NKJV and warn others about it. We do not believe that the "NKJV makes the KJV even better" as its publishers cl aim. To the contrary, our study leads us to conclude that the NKJV vitiates the original, reliable, accurate KJV in a most deceptive manner. While claiming to have "preserved the authority and accuracy" of the original KJV, the actual result is a hybrid t ext which incorporates many changes identical with or similar to the corruptions found in other modern Bible versions.

Why the New King James Bible? Its publisher, Thomas Nelson Company, says its purpose is "To Preserve the Integrity of the Original in the Language of Today"-"To preserve the authority and accuracy . . . of the original King James while making it understan dable to 20th Century readers"-"To update with regard to punctuation and grammar; archaic verbs and pronouns"; and "Up-to-date accuracy with regard to words whose English meaning has changed over a period of 3 1/2 centuries." The completed NKJV text is said to be "Beautifully Clear" and "Highly Readable." Thomas Nelson Publishers has spent millions to convince Chr istians that the NKJV is "the" Bible of the present and the future.

Why do we recommend rejection of the NKJV? Space limitations preclude a full discussion of every reason, but we do urge a careful consideration of the following facts. It is essential to know that many of the word changes between the original KJV and the NKJV are not changes which result from removing archaisms, etc. Instead, many are changes which clearly reveal that, contrary to their agreed basis, the NKJV translators departed from the original KJV and its underlying Greek text, the Textus Receptus, in favor of the very same wording found in versions translated from corrupted Greek texts.

The instances in which the NKJV breaks with the original KJV by substituting wording identical to that of corrupted modern Bible versions are too numerous to be considered coincidence. And, since Nelson tells us that the NKJV scholars spent "months of prayer, research, and discussion over the handling of a single word," we must conclude that these changes were neither coincidental nor accidental.

Is the NKJV just the KJV with the Thee's and Thou's changed? Is it based on the Textus Receptus or The Sinaiticus / alexandrian texts? The answer may surprise you.
