it is by far the most accurate to the Hebrew and Greek and given the process they used for translation it’s pretty reliable just as a matter of conscience.
I think a lot of folks read KJV and it sounds like Shakespeare and they don’t follow it , so they would benefit from a more fitting to the self translation
truthfully the message is going to remain the same basically there’s no translation that’s going to forminstance teach contrary faith “ Jesus didn’t die for our sins “ or “ God doesn’t love mankind “
the details are going to be for the words a bit different here and there , but it’s the message we need about Jesus and the true gospel
I don’t think translations are as important in the beginning maybe as we grow and mature we’re going to want every single detail correct but in the beginning we can’t grasp it all anyways
I remember as a kid I was given a kids Bible it had pictures and phrases I could grasp d the things I learned in that Bible haven’t changed to the things I learn in the KJV it’s just that now I know more details
as a teen I got a teen Bible that had a few deeper concepts and mature language then a niv and eventually KJV became my own preference for the poetic language and my own comfortablity with its accuracy .
I don’t think translations are as important to others as it is to the individual and y Bible is going to have the message of the gospel

Theosis (Greek: Θέωσις), or deification (deification may also refer to apotheosis, lit. "making divine"), is a transformative process whose aim is likeness to or union with God, as taught by the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Byzantine Catholic Churches.

Or maybe most are relatively perfect , but God chose to say things in different ways because we all are a bit different in what we understand and how we perceive things
maybe most of or are least some of the translations to this point are actually a continuing work of God to spread his word to everyone even if they can’t understand the language of the KJV which I myself love and prefer but know others who not sounds like a riddle to them but they know the same things I do from thier niv or whatever version speaks best to them
just a thought maybe we’re all a bit different so the lord said what he said so we can all grasp it like a good father always makes sure his elder and younger children understand what they need to as they need to

I think TPT does a great job of bringing scripture to a modern context (it also has great notes on Aramaic vs Greek manuscripts). But I find that KJV and other archaic English seem to capture concepts in a far more concise and unambiguous way in many cases. When in doubt, I look to the source manuscripts.
Believe it or not, the "archaic" language of the KJV makes it perfect. The KJV was not written in the everyday language of people on the street in 1611. It was written in high English, a very precise form of our language. For example, using thee, thou, you, and ye makes the meaning more precise.

"While Newman was very much formed by the Eastern Fathers, my colleague Mark McInroy showed that in discussing theosis, or deification, the process by which we become not just good but gods--a doctrine many attribute solely to the East--Newman's single most quoted Father was St."
St. Augustine, Dad, and Me
Our friend believes He is becoming deity, i.e., a god.
