By the way, if anyone is looking for a great English translation in more modern English - you might try the ESV (English Standard Version). It seems to retain the granduer of the KJV, is highly readable, and seems to be faithfully translated from texts the KJV only crowd would still favour. I still preach primarily from the KJV but refer to the ESV often.

The big issue between the Majority Text ( KJV, NKJV, WEB) Family and the Alexandrian (NIV type) is in the texts more than the translation. Several key verses that concern the Oneness message are at the forefront of the controversy.
