We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us--a sphere which especially includes you.
2 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV)
Modern English makes it easier to read than the King James, while retaining the familiarity of the 17th century sentence structure.
A modern language update of the original King James Version (KJV). Retains much of the traditional language and sentence structure of the KJV without the old English “thee’s” and “thou’s” and archaic English words.
Commissioned in 1975 by Thomas Nelson Publishers, 130 respected Bible scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians worked for 7 years to create a completely new, modern translation of Scripture, yet one that would retain the purity and stylistic beauty of the original King James Version. With unyielding faithfulness to the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts, the translators applied the most recent research in archaeology, linguistics, and textual studies.
