Nb I’m not being facetious here that was a genuine question. I’ve never heard of any copy of anything supposedly written down by Adam. I mean it doesn’t seem credible to me, seems that he lived before people started using any written form of language, but I wasn’t trying to be funny.
You might want to research it. Many versions leave out crucial God-breathed elements.
In addition, pray about it.
IN THE "NEW KJV," THERE ARE
22 omissions of "hell",
23 omissions of "blood",
44 omissions of "repent",
50 omissions of "heaven",
51 omissions of "God",
66 omissions of "Lord".
The term "JEHOVAH" is completely omitted.
A Deadly Translation - The "New" KJV
These days I use both accordance and logos Bible study software for serious academic scholarship so reliance on paper based concordances, dictionaries and commentaries is no longer an issue.
As for language of the KJV and older Bibles goes - I am afraid a sheperd boy these days would not find it the vernacular of the day.
Gordon,
Do you have access to the Arndt & Gingrich Greek lexicon, the 'Bible' of lexicons, online?
What about Kittel & Friedrich's massive 10 vol word studies? Do you have access to free online resources for these vols?

Here is a link to BAG online. Drawback it does not reproduce the Greek. Click on the Greek Name to see words beginning with that letter.Gordon,

Here we go again!
Let's just look at the last statement. JEHOVAH is omitted? You are aware of course that the word JEHOVAH never appears in any of the manuscripts? It is a mis-translation of Yahweh.
In fact to replace it with Yahweh or Lord is technically more correct.
God bless
"seems that he lived before people started using any written form of language"
That doesn't mean God didn't give him those skills. He had the other skills so why not?
My Bible of choice is the NKJV, just so I can read the KJV more easily. I'm not aware of any changes in meaning from this updated version of the KJV. Is anyone aware of any?
Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus,
To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus
Zechariah 9:17
For how great is their goodness and how great their beauty!
Zechariah 9:17
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty!
Hebrews 2:16
For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.
Hebrews 2:16
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Here are few to consider... there are lots of great sites that expose the errors of the different translations.
In Acts 6:23, the KJV and some others state it this way..
The NKJV and others like the NIV, state it this way...
Some, like the NIV don't even bother to capitalize servant in their version, further degrading Christ.

Here are some other things to consider...
The KJV originated in the dying words of William Tyndale in 1536, when he was burned at the stake by Anglican Catholics for translating and printing the Bible in the English language. Prior to expiring in the flames, he cried out, "Lord, open the eyes of the king of England." By the grace of God, King James I of England called for a new version in English in 1604. The saints with the testimony of Jesus and the commandments of God have always been the despised and persecuted enemies of pagan and papal Rome. Their crime? Possessing the word of God (Rev 6:9; 12:11,17; 14:12; 20:4)! Read the preface of the King James Version. The translators of the NKJV would have trouble even reading the wonderful document, and they would not understand the holy reverence for the word of God and the holy hatred for Catholicism and self conceited scholarship! Read how the translators affirmed that the Pope is the man of sin and how they foretold the certainty that popish persons and self conceited scholars would both surely malign their efforts.
The NKJV was copyrighted as a moneymaking scheme of Thomas Nelson Publishers. They stole the name of a king and a Bible in the public domain, plagiarizing work previously done, and copyrighted it for their financial advantage and perpetual income. If they had hearts for the truth even a fraction of Tyndale and the KJV translators, they would give the Bibles away or, in the worst case, sell them at cost. But they sell it for a profit right along with the NCV, the NAB, the NRSV, and the ICB.
Thomas Nelson Publishers renamed their KJV the New KJV, because they needed a new name for copyright purposes, and they were pandering to a generation that wants new religion rather than the old paths (Jer 6:16; Acts 17:21). Their version is certainly new; it has new words with new doctrines and new emphases for a new kind of Christian, the kind Paul warned would arise in the perilous times of the last days (II Tim 3:1-7; 4:3-4). It is a mongrel version from the manuscripts the KJV translators used and the manuscripts they refused to use! It is found in contemporary Christian churches promoting casual worship and compromising doctrine and practice. It is very rarely found among those men and churches fully dedicated to the apostolic faith and old paths of Scripture.
From... The NKJV is a Fraud!
It sounds to me like this is a personal hangup you have, and as such is irrelevant to discussing the inherent quality of a translation.
Personally I do capitalize the first letter of words related to God, such as "He" and "Him"; but that's tradition, upbringing, and personal choice. If someone didn't capitalize "Him" that's not somehow an act of sacrilege; it may offend your personal religious sensibilities, but then again your personal religious sensibilities aren't the litmus test of what constitutes proper reverence to the Deity.
