The King James Version 2023 Edition New Testament is now complete and in print format here.

The King James Version 2023 Edition New Testament is a modernized rendition of the original King James Version, written in contemporary English while preserving the timeless meaning of the traditional text.

Originally introduced in 2016 as an online PDF, the 2023 Edition has had several years of critique. The 2023 has been refined even further toward the original intent of 1611 definitions.

Features

Matthew 1:1

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. (KJV)
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.(KJV 2023)
The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham. (NKJV)

"Generation" means to be generated or to be placed in time, where the origination of the eternal Christ's body occurred, and the Word became flesh. Christ was not generated from man, but through Mary and from God, linking to Matthew 1 verse 18. The genealogy mentioned is of Joseph, and not Jesus. Thus the New King James Version's translation is faulty having "The genealogy of Jesus Christ" because Christ had no earthly genealogy except through His mother. This error alone causes the entire section to be flawed. in Jeremiah 36, it was made clear that God placed a curse upon the linage of Jehoiakim so that no one from his lions would sit in the throne of David. This becomes absurdly contradictory if this is the "genealogy" of Jesus, and not of His step-father Joseph.

1 John 3:16

Hereby perceiue wee the loue of God, because he layd downe his life for vs, and wee ought to lay downe our liues for the brethren. (KJV) 1611
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (KJV) 1769
By this we perceive the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we also should lay down our lives for the brethren. (KJV) 2023
By this we know love (---omit---), because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (NKJV)

While there has long been criticism over the italicized words "τοῦ Θεοῦ" (of God) in this passage, it is almost always seen as an error by Blayney (the Christian Examiner of 1833 criticized Blayney on italics).

The original 1611 does not have any italic here and Scrivener includes it in his Textus Receptus that the NKJV claims to be based upon. Scrivener notes that Westcott and Hort’s text omits "τοῦ Θεοῦ". So the NKJV clearly departs from the TR here, and also the KJV. Beza’s 1598 clearly says "τοῦ Θεοῦ" and he translates it into Latin as "Charitatem Dei". While earlier TR editions and English bibles omit the words, it is abundantly clear that Beza, Scrivener and the KJV of 1611 had the words there. While the italics of Blaney here are controversial, as most see them as unnecessary, the omission of the words from the NKJV that claims to be merely a "New" KJV, is clearly a departure from the TR text.
