"There are no plans on the table right now to update the translation." Thank you Thomas Nelson. This is indeed unique and a very strong point in favor of the NKJV. One of the worst features in today's Bible market is the overwhelming number of editions of popular Bible translations. If you pick up an ESV, you never know if what you are reading is really the ESV anymore or not. It's confusing and lacks transparency on the part of the publisher to have multiple editions of one translation. I am in favor of renaming editions (ex. ESV vs. ESV-CE) because you can distinguish them. But when two both Bibles say "ESV" and they have different texts, that's when I have an issue. Also, the Orthodox love the NKJV, especially for its New Testament.

@bretclement3197 Месяц назад

I remember a few years ago that the ESV said they would stop updates to make it a stable text. Shortly thereafter they announced they had changed their mind. Perhaps the ESV should have two streams of Bible (I know, I know there are already too many translations but hear me out please). One stream is basically what they do now. The best scholarship they can muster based on most recent findings, updated when they see fit. The other stream is a TR stream. By nature the TR doesn’t need updating unless an error in translation is found. Those who favour the TR or stability would probably go with that stream and it would be close enough to the other one that churches could use the ESV and keep both camps happy. Tim, if you’re reading this and agree, would you consider using your platform to suggest this to Crossway?

My number one Bible is the Nelson NKJV Verse by Verse Classic Center-Column Reference Bible. I do not find the center column distracting at all, and love the close proximity of the references to the text. The red letter verse numbers in the center column make it especially easy to find the references. The layout is perfect and the red chapter names and numbers, and the red pericope titles, are most helpful as well as beautiful. I use it every day, along with the Nelson KJV Sovereign Edition. And, I also use a hardcopy of the NET Full Notes Edition. Thank you, Dr. Nation, for your dedication to preserving the integrity of the NKJV! Blessings!🙏📖

@jimyoung9262 Месяц назад

I've been using the NKJV for 25+ years. I love it. It's not my only translation but it is my main squeeze and probably always will be.

@DesignInNature Месяц назад

Yes! Thank you! No changes to the text! That makes me SO HAPPY!!! Thank you, T. Nelson!

NKJV FOR THE WIN

@davidwashburn6329 Месяц назад

My favorite bible is the NKJV Sovereign, also have a TCR. I liked that the KJVs have translation notes for archaic words.

@PrentissYeates Месяц назад

Tim, I’m late to this conversation but you’re really doing a great service to discussing the importance of the nkjv. I’m wondering, before the remaining translation committee members are called home, check into who would be willing to speak about the foundation of the nkjv translation.

@davidwashburn6329 Месяц назад

I have been using the NKJV since it was first released

Thank you for not updating. This is my favorite version.

@guymontag349 Месяц назад

I read and enjoy many different Bible translations. Each version has its strengths and weaknesses. But if I were to be stranded on a desert island and I could have only one translation, it would unquestionably be the NKJV.

@UNAJacob1985 Месяц назад

NKJV is my main Bible and I would love a footnotes update! Also very interested in the Early Church Fathers edition in the works!!!

@dreamscapes6787 Месяц назад

Great interview! Great news about keeping the NKJV translation stable!

@Kenmo.6274 Месяц назад

My go to translation is NKJV. The NET is a Bible I’d like to read soon. It’s the one translation I haven’t read.

@jimamber3405 Месяц назад

The NKJV comes so close to the magnificent KJV in accuracy and beauty of language and hopefully will never fall into the greed trap of pointless revision . The NKJV since 1983 stands head n shoulders with the KJV as the pinnacle of translation greatness

@guymontag349 Месяц назад

1982.

@erichoehn8262 Месяц назад

Great video. Very informative.

@bk24708 Месяц назад

It would be nice to have more premium bibles in Nkjv from Thomas Nelson. I will still say my single column reference & large print thinline.

@brucemcqueen5395 Месяц назад

My man. Stability matters.

@robertrayford8708 Месяц назад

Please don’t even “think” of changing the NKJV for at least one hundred years. Philip Nation, you are absolutely correct, the stability of the unchanged text in the NKJV is its strength. Please don’t mess up by changing things. If the KJV 1611 could go nearly 400 years before the NKJV, surely the NKJV can go 150-200 years. Timothy Frisch! Please, share with Thomas Nelson the comments section of this video. Let our comments serve as a petition (or at least reliable customer feedback) that the Christian community of NKJV bibles does not want an update of the NKJV text. EVERY other Bible already does that. Please.. let this translation remain the unchanging word of God!

@jimyoung9262 Месяц назад

The NET full notes is SO. GOOD. I always read it and the notes through when I'm teaching. I'd love to see the NET get some love in premium editions.

@erichoehn8262 Месяц назад

I am having my Full Notes rebound by Floresh.

@micahwatz1148 Месяц назад

If Phill sees this comment. Make an nkjv in the old 1611 kjv style. With the blackletter font, pages lines, ect. Also a gutter reference bible would be great

@justindeharlingen Месяц назад

The popularity of the end of verse reference Bible should be a signal that vast reference systems are out and aesthetics are in. Unfortunately, there aren't any non-reference options with premium or semi-premium NKJVs. Nelson is missing out on a huge opportunity. Humble Lamb blew it altogether. Time for some single column Heritage, Thinline, and LPUT without references. Full notes, please.

@murrydixon5221 Месяц назад

Rev. Dr. Nation, there is a need to remove the NU notes. Also, there is a MASSIVE NEED for the KJV/NKJV Parallel Bible to make its appearance once again.

@Matthew-307 Месяц назад

Why would they remove the NU notes? That’s one of the best features of the NKJV is the textual footnotes.

@murrydixon5221 Месяц назад

@Matthew-307 If they actually redo the notes, it will be a long time (if ever) that they would do so again. Nestle-Aland marches on and the rest of the ECM is on the way. Better to instead focus on the Majority and all of the Textus Receptus editions.

@Anvillhead Месяц назад

I would love to know if there are any Premier Collection editions of the NET in the works. I’ve held off on buying a Full Notes edition for this reason. Now they’re difficult to get even in genuine leather covers.

@erichoehn8262 Месяц назад

I love my Full Notes edition.

@danhanshew4957 Месяц назад

What would a revision of the translator notes look like? A strength of the NKJV is the way the notes present the textual differences. Also, if you’re not going to update the translation then how would you update the translators’ notes?

@dayetonlarson8477 Месяц назад

Concerning a revision of the notes, and even - perhaps the actual translation..., would be justified if there was a very major archeological finding of manuscripts. But then again - that would take years to sort them out - then later to actually including the new findings in to the text. It would certainly be one massive job!!!

@chyrongreen Месяц назад

No talk of more black letter editions of the NKJV:( I wish they would produce more for people who don’t like red letter or find it hard to read. The options are minimal. Bring back the LPUT!

@Matthew-307 Месяц назад

Humble Lamb has a blue letter NKJV :)

@chyrongreen Месяц назад

@@Matthew-307 yes ,which is way easier on my eyes than red but I don’t like the illustrations. Single column is not my favorite but black and blue are better options. Thanks though.

@Matthew-307 Месяц назад

@@chyrongreen Yeah i don’t prefer single column either, the mclaren from thomas nelson has some blue letter options i think.

The King James version is THE HOLY BIBLE for English speaking people. I like to refer to the NKJV as the Not King James version.

@danofsteel9092 18 дней назад

Why do you KJV onlyists hate the NKJV? It's based on the same manuscript family, the Textus Receptus.

@captnMorgan41424 Месяц назад

So Thomas Nelson is owned by a secular company that promotes anti biblical agendas. I went to the HarperCollins page and the first thing I saw was their "celebrating pride" advertisement. This does not sit well with me and I am a fan of the NKJV. Does this mean that Thomas Nelson has "sold out"

@jimyoung9262 Месяц назад

He literally addresses this 15 minutes in.

@guymontag349 Месяц назад

Yes, Thomas Nelson has clearly become "woke" and everyone employed there. especially Philip Nation, will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. (Give me a break.)

@captnMorgan41424 Месяц назад

@@jimyoung9262 Yeah and it sounds like a sell out In that It was about money and not about values (otherwise it wouldn't have been sold to a secular anti biblical company). At the moment HarperCollins is not micromanaging what comes out of Thomas Nelson but that doesn't mean it will always be that way. But supporting Thomas Nelson is de facto supporting HarperCollins. Living in the world we live in we cannot go throughout our lives without giving money to non-christian entities but it definitely feels different when a christian entity is owned by a company that directly supports agendas against the bible and we give them money to get bibles.

@murrydixon5221 Месяц назад

I'm kind of with you Cap'n. It would have been better for them to be under a ministry. "Pride goes before destruction"

@guymontag349 Месяц назад

Yes, it's probably safer to buy the Donald Trump "God Bless America Bible". Yes, it's the KJV, not the NKJV. But at least you know that demonic forces, like the ones that have satanically taken over Thomas Nelson, aren't present.
