Does anyone have any info, opinions, experiences, good or bad with this KJ version? Or on its translator, Jay P. Green.
Here's a few of links: http://www.sovgracepub.com/bibles/mkjv.htm http://www.amazon.com/Holy-Bible-Mod...e=UTF8&s=books http://www.amazon.com/Modern-King-Ja...e=UTF8&s=books
Thanks and God Bless. |

Reps: 989 (power: 0) | | | In some places, Jay Green's Modern KJV would agree with the updating as found in the NKJV. Some places the MKJV would agree with the KJV and differ from the NKJV. Sometimes the MKJV may differ from both the KJV and the NKJV.
Here are some examples:
Gen. 1:28
fill the earth (1560 Geneva, 1982 NKJV, 1990 MKJV)
replenish the earth (KJV)
Gen. 30:37
hazel (KJV)]
almond (NKJV, MKJV)
Gen. 36:24
mules (KJV)
water (NKJV)
hot springs (MKJV)
Exodus 5:8
the number of bricks (Tyndale's, 1833 Websters, MKJV)
the tale of the bricks (KJV)
the quota of bricks (NKJV)
Lev. 11:19
lapwing (KJV)
hoopoe (NKJV, MKJV)
Lev. 11:30
hedgehog (Tyndale's, 1535 Coverdale's)
ferret (KJV)
Lev. 12:8
turtledoves (1535 Coverdale's, NKJV, MKJV)
turtles (KJV)
Num. 15:4
meat offering (KJV)
grain offering (NKJV)
food offering (MKJV)
gecko (NKJV, MKJV) |

Sometimes I do go back and refer to it to see how he translated a certain text. I think Green's translation is a good translation, I just can't seem to find a way to justify switching from a NASB to his MKJV or even a NKJV to his MKJV.
