I find flaws in most of them.
However, the three elements for eternal salvation are;
1 We must repent of our sins
2 We must be baptized
3 We must live a righteous life.
These are presented in the KJV ...clearly.

Every credible Bible translation presents those three concepts. Any of those three concepts can be readily understood from any more modern English translation. There is no magic Bible translation that is the only one allowed. A wise person uses many translation to get the real meaning out of any passage. The KJV has a few flaws in it. Every single translation does because there is no such thing as an "Inspired" translation. Only the original autographs are inspired. We have more texts to work from now, than they did in the 16th and 17th centuries. When Erasmus was working on the Textus Receptus, in some cases, he had no Greeks texts of a few New Testament books at all, or he only had fragments to work from. So he reverse-engineered those portions from the Latin Vulgate into Greek. Not a criticism, but that was not a good idea. Since the KJV was derived from the Textus Receptus, those books in the KJV are somewhat suspect, for that reason. I have my grandfathers 1967 Scofield KJV that he used to preach out of. I have my grandmothers 1964 Thompson Chain reference KJV. I have KJV that belonged to my parents. I still use these Bibles, and since I was raised with a KJV, using one isn't a problem for me. But no one today, who is a new Christian should be told to try and struggle with a KJV Bible. Everyone should use a translation they like and are comfortable with, as long as it is not some whacked translation like the New World Translation which was written specifically to support Jehovah's Witnesses doctrine. I prefer the KJV, the original NIV, (not the later re-writes) the ESV, and the NAS. I don't have every available English translation, but I have most of them.
