99% of English users, especially those who've learned it as a 2nd language, don't understand archaic English very well.
Here's a little example: I had a dr. from Korea move in not far from me. He had learned schoolbook English, & had mastered written English pretty well. He was a new Christian & he asked me if I could lend him a Bible til his Korean edition arrived. Without thinking, I handed him a KJV.
A coupla days later, he called me, a little upset. He'd come across "Suffer little children" in Matt. 19:14 & thought 'suffer' meant to be in pain or under duress. I explained the archaic meaning of 'suffer' as 'allow or permit' for 'suffer' & brought him an NASV to use. (Another thing he wondered about was 'target', which then meant a small shield.)
There's simply no more good reason to teach from the KJV than there is to drive a Model T daily.

Even when they try to use the KJV, and when He proves them wrong thru me with the KJV in rightly dividing the word of truth, then they go to another Bible version which has changed the message that actually supports their false teachings and sows doubts in the KJV and not just in that other Bible version they are using.
So the "Model T" is reliable because it is the truth, but only God can cause the increase in understanding & applying His words in our lives to live by faith in Jesus Christ as our own personal Good Shepherd as we can only live this reconciled relationship with God thru Jesus Christ.. -

Not all Bibles are saying the same thing in order to reprove false teachings.
Romans 8:26 has some testifying to the Holy Spirit uttering groans whereas some do not have Him uttering groans for why some tongue speakers use that to support tongues for private use.
1 Corinthians 1:18 has some Bibles saying "being saved" from others & the KJV that say "are saved" where those in err use "being saved" to support the false teaching that they are not saved yet but in the process of being saved.
There are others, but those 2 I have given examples to you, but you seem to either forget them or just keep ignoring that just contention for why I rely only on the KJV..
Doing the elimination rounds with His help in seeing the KJV keeps the meat of His words to discern good & evil by His words , I find I can rely only on the KJV.

I would say that anyone that holds to what they call a mistake in the KJV, are not really discerning the KJV with Him at all, because it is not a mistake when the message has not changed at all. -
If you wish to use the KJV, fine, but you're in serious error if you say the KJV is the ONLY valid English Bible version. Satan came up with that notion to cause strife & dissension within & between congregations. If you believe the KJVO myth, you're believing an invention of Satan's! -
Then you should be concern by whatever Bible versions you are using, because John 16:13 in your Bible versions says the Holy Spirit cannot speak from Himself but speaks only what He hears as the truth you will find in ALL Bible versions so He cannot even utter groans, brother. That is the truth & you would be remiss because you cannot reprove tongue speakers from your Bible versions that believes tongues can be gibberish nonsense and why it is for private use when it is not..
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. KJV
1 Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. NIV
If you sill do not see the difference, then I cannot help you. I just know you will have a hard time correcting those astray by your Bible versions. -
With respect to "tongue speakers", I would prefer to refute what is unbiblical based on all of the biblical teaching on "tongues" rather than some obscure hypothesis drawn from an archaic English translation. It is enough that even modern "glossolalia" is not "wordless groaning", so this verse does not apply to what they are doing. I don't need the KJV to refute eisegesis ... either theirs or yours.
The bible clearly says the Holy Spirit CAN speak, so you cannot claim that the Holy Spirit CANNOT speak. -
