Based on the same Hebrew and Greek texts used by the translators of the masterful and time-honored King James Version of 1611, the New King James Version, or NKJV, attempts to update the language of its predecessor while preserving its faithfulness to the truth and its excellent literary qualities. Scholars working on this project invited input from pastors and other advisors to insure that their translation would meet the needs of public worship, Christian education, and personal reading and study. Like the original KJV, this new translation, published in 1982 by Thomas Nelson, Inc., carefully avoids paraphrase in a reverential attempt to preserve the authority and accuracy of the word of God.

This Bible includes red-letter support for the words of Jesus in the gospels (except on BlackBerry and iPod).
