I don't compare modern versions to the King James. It's the other way around for me. My favorite is still the one on Bible.org.
The King James is the Model T. It isn't better, it's just first. And I have grown accustomed to power windows, 17" wheels and 300 horsepower, thank you very much.
That is the problem, you are suppose to check out these things.
The Roman Catholics have a different bible then the Reformation bibles.
Even they admit this, yet the modern versions will use the same texts (edited by a Catholic Cardinal who may become Pope) and come to the same readings, but then wonder why all the ecumenicalism is going on!

Actually, the King James wasn't first,it is in a line of Reformation Bibles, which was perfected with the King James.
The modern versions are not 'modern' they go back to the old Roman Catholic readings.
