Thank You brother askjo.

No! The KJV is an accurate translation.

 

The KJV is the most accurate translation. However there are M/Vs less corrupted than others. For example, number one is more accurate and number 3 is less accurate.

1. The New KJV is more accurate.
2. The NASB is accurate.
3. The NIV is less accurate.

But the only way there could be another more accurate translation in English is if someone comes up with a new English version based on the TR.

 

Have you ever read what Dean Burgon had to say about the TR?

And which version of the TR would you recommend? Erasmus made three. Stephanus made two or three. Beza made some. And the Elzevir Bros. "cleaned up" the spelling & punctuation in 1633 or so.

 

I'll offer my opinion.

Scrivener's 1894/5 TR is the latest and greatest.
In the few places where the 3 "TR's" differ, Scrivener compiled his TR using the choices of the KJB translators (except I believe in 6 places - although some say as many as 17 - where the KJB agrees with none of them. These were for the most part Vulgate readings).
