'Crown' in the portions of the Revelation where the word is unquestionablly 'diadem,' though, granted, not everyone is aware of what a diadem is and what it may signify, i.e., imperial or absolute power - see Rev. (See what the translators do with 'diadem' vs. sometimes they correct the situation in one case and, apparently is something like a hymn has been based on the KJV translation, they will leave the errror. So, the good thing is that the NKJV continues a tradition and the bad thing is that where they might have made some improvements they continued the tradition of errors. Also, the Greek text underlying the NKJV, although I will concede that the differences between this and the best Greek text are pretty inconsequential thologically, is not the best though typically the differences between their text and the Majority Test and the Nestle/United Bible Society text are footnoted. No doubt the translators feared that any change there would be perceived by unifmored, ultra-conservatives as tampering with the word of God when, in fact, as they sometimes did according to what they considered the best English style of the time, the KJV translators actually tampered with the worrd of God at times by using two English synonyms for the same Greek word or phrase in the same context. something like 'the great distress.' One of the bad things about the NKJV is that is also retains some of the inconsistency of the KJV such as 'eternal life' in John 3:15 and 'everlasting life' in John 3:16 which can have people debating the difference between 'eternal' and 'everlasting' whereas in the Greek the phrase is identifical in each. Thus one can recognize, for example, the 'great tribulation' vs. One of the great things about the NKJV is that it preserves some of the vocabulary on which bilbe-based thology in the English-speaking world has been based such as 'Tribulation,' 'atonement,' etc. Reviewed by (George Koll, Walla Walla, WA) - New King James VersionВ® for e-Sword I feel at home again as I study the Word. Many thanks to e-StudySource for the NKJV for e-Sword. Very soon I will be comfortable to drop the KJV from my parallel Bible completely while still having it available for Strong's numbers in my research work. I am delighted to find that there are few verses that have changed so much that I have to learn them all over and that it is so easy to make my notes in the editor. So, since I use e-Sword extensively for my Bible studies, I purchased the NKJV for e-Sword and immediately included it in my parallel Bible, next to the KJV. What a delight to discover that is still has the flow and poetry of the original KJV. My fear had been that it had become too modern. When I did find one, I began using it in my quiet time. So I began searching for a copy of the New King James Version that would be appropriate for me. I went thru several translations and discovered that not only had I not found the translation I was searching for, but that I was forgetting many familiar references. I have been reading KJV all my life and have memorized many verses, but when newer word for word translations came out, I began searching for something more current.

I am grateful for the time and labor spent to put the NKJV at my fingertips. Hopefully there will be more public proclamation of the Scripture as a regular part of our day and also during the corporate church worship hour. Flooding the ear-gates and eye-gates with GodвЂ™s Word is such a pleasure using the NKJV. What a great blessing! The NKJV so awesome and majestic when read aloud or sung, especially the Psalms and the Prophets. By using this version of the Bible, I can memorize these Scriptural songs and GodвЂ™s Word. There is a very wonderfully talented Malaysian believer who uses the New King James Version to write and perform Scriptural worship music. This version maintains the dignity and magesty of GodвЂ™s Word while removing some of the stilted, outdated language of the old King James Version. Thank you for making the New King James Version available on the E-sword app. Reviewed by (Constance Owen, Greenwood, Indiana) - New King James VersionВ® for e-Sword
