King James Version or New International Version:  Who Really Cares?

Here are just a few of the many verses in question. This table is long and you'll have to scroll down to see it all. It's worth the time, though.

Again, I DO NOT support nor do I endorse the use of the NIV, but the link is provided for you benefit FOR THIS STUDY ONLY.
