But I'm not dogmatic about it.

Neither am I

So far as the meanings behind the words used, there's not a dime's worth of difference between the KJV vs the NKJV.

13 For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry,

13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

I think they are not saying the same thing. Peter is an apostle to gentiles. Albeit one house. And as I stated, I use NKJV almost exclusively. I have even changed the text KJV when quoting 2 Thessalonians 2. The late Bob Hill isn't the only one that says "falling away" in KJV is wrong.

You can list all of the individual translation problems you care to and it still doesn't overcome the fact the no one speaks the language that the KJV was written in any longer. If you want a perfect translation, forget it. It cannot happen - period. Just go get the Greek or Hebrew text and good luck with translating it yourself. If, on the other hand, you want a translation that can be read and understood by the English speaking world, the NKJV is the best that currently exists - at least as far as any that I know anything about.

Yes, that is what I said.
