I'll second that!!!

The KJV is what I was raised with, it's what is sitting in my living room, it's what I read when I want to read Scripture.

Modern translations just don't sound right to me, even if they are easier for most folks to understand.

The Word of God is worth a little WORK to try to understand it!! :)

” Modern translations just don’t sound right to me, even if they are easier for most folks to understand. “

Scripture SHOULD stand out from daily dialect. Archaic, perhaps, but it has the ring of Truth throught the ages.

I’ll look at other translations occasionally to try to root out a difficult passage, but my trusty Schofield in KJV has never let me down.
