Why is King James Version still used so much if people don’t talk like that still? Just curious.
Actually, this is the New King James version.
It has corrected many of the errors from the original King James version but pretty much kept the poetic flow of the old King James.
Between the New king James NKJV and the New American Standard NASV, you will not get any better translations.
However, the New American Standard version NASV, can be a bit more difficult to follow at times for the new Christian, so I always advise them to use the NKJV.
I hope that helps.
