The NKJV is the work of 130 translators from several different religious groups and countries. All participating scholars signed a petition stating their belief in the plenary and verbal inspiration of the original autograph texts. Their purpose was to maintain the tradition of the KJV while updating many of the problems contained therein. Numerous archaic and obsolete expressions have been replaced by more modern terms.
The NKJV seeks to be as literal as possible in its faithfulness to the original texts. It was published in 1982.
