Read what you want I like KJV for the way the poetry reads in ( Psalms, Proverbs et. al. ) the Old Testaments. I use both KJV and NIV

I love the King James version also. This article is part of an ongoing discussion about whether the King James version is the ONLY valid translation of scripture. That all other translations are flawed including the oldest greek and hebrew manuscripts.

I personally feel the KJV is a more accurate translation, but when I read it in contrast to a more modern translation I have had moments where I better understand the verse I was reading in KJV.

I like the KJV exactness better. An example is the Lord’s prayer. I like the KJV version better but a lot of churches ( at least the Methodist one I used to attend did ) recite/teach the NIV version.
