“MORE HARD WORDS OF THE NJKV”

Now here’s an interesting fact … that second grade children can understand and define all the following King James Bible words, but none of their corresponding NKJV substitutes!

Dear Reader, do you think that the words of the New King James Version are more difficult and not clearer as they claim?

Dear Reader, do users of the New King James Version designate, nominate, espouse, determine, depute … indeed … moreover eclectically and synonymously select, the hard word instead of the easy word?

“Is it a ‘habitation for mortals’
or a house?
Is it a ‘mode of vehicular transport’
or a car?”
