It has been said by many that
the NIV is the most readable and accurate Bible on the
market today and that it is based on older and more
reliable manuscripts than the King James Bible. In
regard to the above statements an "acid test" is the
only fair way to put the NIV and the KJV "to the test"
as one might say... so get out you NIV, a pen and when
you have completed the test I encourage you to then take
a KJV and see the result...
