Most modern Bible translations are corrupt. If you truly want to read the Bible as God has preserved it for millennia, you must avoid any modern Bible based on the modern “critical text”.

Think about it: all the critical editions — Nestle-Aland, UBS, Westcott-Hort, and the rest — are built on a handful of late Alexandrian manuscripts like Vaticanus and Sinaiticus. These are tiny fragments compared to the thousands of manuscripts in the Byzantine / Majority tradition, which the church used for nearly 2000 years.
What do the critical texts do? They cut out verses, change words, and insert readings that nobody in the historic church ever used. They are constantly revised as new fragments are “discovered,” meaning the text is never stable — it’s always someone’s guess about what the original might have said. By contrast, the Textus Receptus and the Majority Text reflect the words that believers actually received and used century after century, forming the basis of Tyndale, Geneva, and the King James Version.
So, when you open a modern-english critical-text-based Bible, you’re reading a reconstruction, not the text that has been providentially preserved. If you want Scripture you can trust, stick to the ones based on the received text — those are the versions God’s people have used for generations without the uncertainty and guesswork that comes with the critical editions.
1️ Translations that predate the critical text

(No knowledge of Nestle-Aland, UBS, Westcott-Hort; fully TR / Majority / Masoretic-based)
• William Tyndale New Testament (1526–1534)

2️ Translations that do not use the critical text for the main text but consulted it or used in notes
• New King James Version (NKJV, 1982) — main text = TR; footnotes include NU-text / Majority Text variants
• Modern English Version (MEV, 2014) — TR-based; may note modern variants
• Orthodox Study Bible (OSB, NT 2008) — NT from NKJV; footnotes may reference critical text variants

3️ Corrupt Translations based on modern critical texts

• Christian Standard Bible (CSB, 2017)
• New English Translation (NET, 2005)

• Any other modern translation — almost certain to be based on the corrupt critical text


For those who want the Bible that has stood the test of time, there is no substitute for the King James Version. Its words are rooted in the Textus Receptus and the Masoretic Text, the same text streams the church has relied on for nearly 2000 years, tracing back to the apostles themselves. The KJV has borne remarkable fruit: it has nourished generations of believers, fueled revivals, and shaped the English-speaking church like no other translation. Unlike modern critical-text Bibles that are constantly revised and unstable, the KJV preserves the text as it has been faithfully handed down, ensuring that readers can trust every word as God intended. Its endurance and influence testify not only to its literary beauty but to its faithfulness, reliability, and spiritual power.

You [jews] belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Jeremiah 23:29

1 Peter 2:15
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.

1 Thessalonians 5:18
Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

1 Thessalonians 4:3
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality.

John 6:40
“For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
