The KJV and the NKJV are some of the best to still go by, but they have their translation errors to.
They are not major as some put it out to be, but the context and meaning in some scriptures do cause conflict and debate.
Examples would be;
Believe pisteuó - meaning continuation of belief leading to something....
echó - meaning to have as a mental possession, assurance of.......
This and then when it comes to other translations they cause other conflicts between believers as 1 Corinthians 11:16;

Hebrews 2:11
Your Bible probably says they are sanctified, period.
This one of the major reasons for OSAS.
However, there is positional sanctification followed by progressive sanctification!
New King James Bible
For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one
International Standard Version
because both the one who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified all have the same Father.
NET Bible
For indeed he who makes holy and those being made holy all have the same origin
Weymouth New Testament
For both He who sanctifies and those whom He is sanctifying have all one Father
Just another proof that spiritual truth only comes via revelation through the Holy Spirit.

Here it is right here Dan. The bible that has been tried in a furnace of earth and purified 7 times is the pure words of the Lord. There's only one bible around today that I know of that meets that criteria.
Psa 12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
Psa 12:5 For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
Psa 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Psa 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
Psa 12:8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

The KJV began a stubborn resistance to humanism, preserving the word of God from that persuasion that was as rampant then as it is today. Humanism seeks to bring the word of God into line with each generation of people who want to change, to favor the flesh, to keep kicking against the "goad". A goad, a pointed stick (modern "shock wand"), is still in use to prick a cow to move to where you want it to go. God hasn't changed his mind about which direction man ought to go.
The KJV has been updated much to relate to modern language, while retaining the oldest intent of what God has said to man already. Because the KJV carries old "flesh" offenses, modern men want to reject it. It's "uncomfortable" and "harsh", so many people prefer the versions that emphasize kind love and tolerance. So it is that modern versions of the Bible seek to reconcile the demands of modern man with the word of God. That's backwards with God. He won't change his standards to accommodate any generation of man.

I like KJV bit sometimes it's a bit difficult to read so I use BibleStudytools.com or Bible.org and read interlinear version. You can pick whichever. They both have alot of resources.
