The KJV renders several different words as hell and these distinctions can be important. The newer versions try to render these distinctions.
Hold on there. Folks like Tyndale certainly suffered.
However, by the time we get to the translators themselves we see a different picture, with the Anglican church having now separated itself again.
Some of the translators of the KJV who you are referring to were on the other side of that persecution. The head of the project, Richard Bancroft was known to be very harsh towards puritan believers who rejected the notion of being directed by the Anglican church, and having bishops over the local clergy. He was put in charge of investigating them under Archbishop Whitgift and some of them were dismissed from their ministry, some were jailed, and some were put to death for their teachings.
And when he became Archbishop he continued this course. Some of the other translators similarly persecuted those who wished to be independent of the Anglican state church.
Didn't a bunch of folks get killed for even having pieces of scripture found on them

This is simply rubbish. Not only are you factually incorrect, you are seemingly quite happy to lie about newer English translations even after you've been shown that you are wrong.
You and others sound like a new translation when you discount the KJV as profitable
The New King James Version is not the King James Version at all. Like all other modern versions, it is based on the minority text.
William Tyndale was convinced that it was his life's calling in duty to God to make a good translation of the Bible in English. He was opposed by Roman (Catholic) authorities and betrayed into their hands to be burned at the stake. He knew this would be his fate as the Catholic Church was not far out of the Inquisition as the protestant reformation was shaking up the Catholic Church coming out of the dark ages. Tyndale was strangled and burned at the stake, and as he was dying he prayed "Lord, open the King's eyes". Rogers got into Tyndale's room and stole away Tyndale's unfinished work before Roman authorities could get it and burn it. Rogers carried on Tyndale's work until he too was martyred. For Tyndale's bravery and dedication to translating the scriptures into English knowing he would be burned alive if Romans got hold of him, after he was burned at the stake and prayed for the King's eyes to be opened as he was engulfed in flames, he won the hearts of England and Europe and the title "The Hero Of the Reformation".
Proverbs 22:1 says :The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
It was the answer to Tyndale's prayer that the King of England commissioned translation of the Bible into English.
It matters very much why the King James Bible is the Authorized Version.
The New King James Version is not the King James Version at all. Like all other modern versions, it is based on the minority text.

I do not at all discount the KJV as profitable. I consider it one of the best translations.
I simply say it is not perfect.
Tyndale's version and later English versions were already present during the time of the KJV. Tyndale was indeed a martyr for his willingness to put the Bible into English (I am reading a biography of his life currently). However, some of the translators of the KJV had more in common with the folks who burned Tyndale than with Tyndale himself.
Bancroft, the head of the translation project persecuted puritans for their views that the Bible does not support bishops overseeing the local clergy. Bancroft served under then archbishop Whitgift as an investigator of these puritans. Some were removed from their positions, some jailed, and some killed for sedition for wanting to make their own church.
And we must not forget that the AV (KJV) was authorised by King James - a king who actively persecuted Baptists. Being a Baptist during his reign was dangerous. It was King James who ordered the execution of Edward Wightman in 1612, the last person to be burned at the stake for heresy in England. Although normally people were left to die in prison, out of sight.
King James was the reason that the Pilgrim Fathers left England for America.
One of the reasons for a new translation was to combat the Separatist movement (which included Baptists).
All the translators were members of the state church, which was under the control of the king. None suffered persecution, or died, due to their translation efforts. Any Baptist or American who objects to more recent Bible translations due to some of the people involved (eg Westcott and Hort) must also reject the AV due to the involvement of King James and it being a product of the Established Church.
But fortunately God can still use the work of sinful men, carried out for highly questionable motives.
In the UK, we generally refer to this translation as the AV, not the KJV. I do not think that God's Word should be named after a man. And as a Baptist, naming it after someone who actively opposed Baptists is objectionable. I also find it very strange that American Baptists have a high regard of King James.

Wow , no wonder Wightman was burned at the stake according to what he sent to the king , if true what all I saw , he was as bad as Simon Magus claiming to be God , Savior , Holy Spirit
I don't know much about the case. Can you post your sources. I was unaware they had copies of what was sent to the king.
