To: Psalm 73
I'm partial to NKJV because although it's not the most linguistically accurate, I love the cadence of the wording and sentence structure - it's what I use for scripture memorization.

Most of it is based on the Textus Receptus.

Matthew 2:14 "Many are called but few are chosen" only appears in TR bibles. The new translations (ESV,NIV,NASB) omit it. This is just one example, but IMO the most profound.

Yep. I typed 22:14 and it got changed to 2:14.

“Matthew 2:14 “Many are called but few are chosen” only appears in TR bibles. The new translations (ESV,NIV,NASB) omit it.”

I assume you meant Matt 22:14

14 “For many are invited, but few are chosen.” - CSB

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.” - NASB

14 For many are called, but few are chosen.” - ESV

14 And Jesus concluded, “Many are invited, but few are chosen.” - Good News Bible

14 “For many are called, but few are chosen.” - NLT

I try to avoid those "my translation is better than your translation" squabbles.
If someone asks what I use for study, I tell them why I like it. The Holy Spirit is my Teacher anyways.

biblehub.com is a good source for you to confirm you allegations.

you lose credibility when you make the kind of statement you did only to be shown the NASB and others do include the statement you said they didn't.
