NKJV New King James
NIV New International Version
The New International Version (NIV) is a Bible translation in modern contemporary English. The text has been updated with two key revisions to date in 1984, and most recently in 2011. The latest edition includes inclusive language. It is fairly literal translation, but uses dynamic translation where necessary for clarity in meaning, and this balanced translation makes it a firm favourite of many churches.
The NIV was originally made by a large group of evangelical scholars working from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek source language texts. The New Testament was produced in 1973 and the whole Bible in 1978. It was printed in the USA with an anglicised version adapted for the UK.
The NIV is the best selling Bible in the USA and very popular with evangelical Christians in the UK. It is printed by Hodder and Stoughton in the UK and comes in many formats and editions.
Sample verse
If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be that person? (1 John 3:17)
NKJV New King James
The New King James Version (NKJV or NKJ) is a modern translation of the Bible that was commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers. 130 respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for seven years to update the vocabulary and grammar of the King James Version. They created a completely new, modern translation of Scripture, yet one that retains the historic dignity, purity and stylistic beauty of the original 1611 text.
With unyielding faithfulness to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts, the translators have applied the most recent research in archaeology, linguistics, and textual studies to their work, resulting in a literal, word for word translation that remains a popular choice with many churches.
Sample verse
But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? (1 John 3:17)
