Even though the NKJV claims to be an easier to understand version of the KJV, it is actually an Alexandrian translation disguised as a Textus Receptus, meaning that every change they made aligns more with the Alexandrian translations than the Textus Receptus. For those that don't know, there are over five thousand manuscripts, all agreeing with one another, that form the Textus Receptus (the Received Texts), while only about thirty comprise the Alexandrian texts (only four of which are "complete"). The King James translators used the Textus Receptus, while Wescott and Hort used the Alexandrian texts. All modern bibles, including the New King James Bible, use the Wescott and Hort translations of the Alexandrian texts.

So, is the NKJV easier to understand? You tell me.
It claims so be, but what does Hades mean?
The KJV translates Hades to Hell. The NKJV just transliterates the word without translating it.
And that's just one of MANY harder to understand changes.

What about 1 Kings 10:28?
Here's the NKJV translation:
"And Solomon had horses imported from Egypt and Keveh; the king's merchants bought them in Keveh at the current price."
What does the above verse say Solomon purchased? Horses, right? From Egypt and Keveh. But Keveh isn't a place. It isn't a town or a city. It doesn't exist.
Now read the "hard to understand" King James Version:
"And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and Linen Yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price."
Wow, that must have been very difficult to read. It's one of many difficult verses that the NKJV translators just HAD to change to make it easier to understand.

And what about all those "Ye's" and "Thee's" it takes out? The KJV translators specifically used those words to denote singular and plural, making verses like John 3:7 much easier to understand and with less room for error.

But those are small changes. They don't mean anything signi..
