1. It supports the fact that Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. He is both God and man. I Tim.3:16.
2. It supports the fact that Jesus is born of a virgin. Isaiah 7:14. Other versions have "young woman" such as NRSV, REB.
3. It supports the fact that Joseph is not Christ real father. Luke 2:23. KJV stated "Joseph" but other versions such as the NIV has "The child's father".
4. It supports the fact that Christ is eternal and has no beginnings. Micah 5:2.
5. It supports the fniel 3:25. Other versions such as the NIV, NASB, NWT, have stated "a son of the gods" but the KJV stated "The Son of God".
6. It supports the fact that redemption and forgiveness of sins is through the blood of Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:14. Other versions omitted the words "through his blood".
7. It supports the fact that Christ is God and will be the one to judge at the "Judgment Seat of Christ". Other versions have "God's judgment seat" (NIV) and "Judgment seat of God" (NASB, NRSV).
8. It supports the fact that faith in Christ is a requisite to baptism in water. Acts 8:37. Other versions have the entire verse missing.
9. It supports the Biblical fact that there are so called "science" but are false teachings. I Tim.6:20. An example of this is the Evolution Theory which many people call science but is a false teaching. The NKJV replaced the word "science" with "knowledge".
10. It supports the fact that a heretic must be rejected, not just a divisive person. Titus 3:10. Other versions replaced the word "heretic" with the word "divisive". Such is favorable to the ecumenical because they will only reject those who will cause division in their unity but won't reject the heretic.
11. It supports the fact that believers must STUDY the Word of God carefully with an analytical mind in order to have a proper understanding of God's word. II Tim.2:15. Other versions omitted the word "study". This is the only verse in the NT where the word "study" is being commanded.
12. It supports the fact that God's words are preserved forever. Psalm 12:6-7. Other versions such as the NIV, NASB, NRSV, NAB, etc. have changed the meaning of the context making you think that in verse 7 the context is God's people instead of God's words.
13. It supports the fact that men must teach the truth and must not corrupt the Word of God. II Cor.2:17. Other versions changed the word "corrupt" to "peddle"(NIV), "peddlers"(NRSV), "peddling" (NASB).
14. It is harmonious to the biblical fact that Mary had other children by Joseph because of the word "firstborn". Jesus is the firstborn of Mary in her virginity and did not remain to be a perpetual virgin. Other versions have omitted the word "firstborn" in Matt.1:25.
15. It supports the doctrine of the Trinity. I John 5:7.
It proves the truth that Jesus is God and is coming again. Rev.11:17. Other versions omitted "art to come".
16. It proves the fact that Christ is going to defeat and conquer the kingdoms of this world and such kingdoms will become His kingdoms. Revelation 11:15 talks about the kingdoms of this world, (plural) not the Kingdom of God (singular).
17. It proves that Jesus is not just a man, rather He is God who became man as you read I John 4:3 and relate it with John 1:1-3, and verse 14.
18. It proves the fact that Jesus is not an archangel as the "Jehovah Witnesses" cult believes. But He is God who chose to become man and to have the nature of man as the phrase in Heb.2:16 says, "...took on him the seed of Abraham". Compare with Heb.2:14, 17; 5:4, Phil.2:7). Other versions has the meaning that Jesus just helps the descendants of Abraham.
19. It supports the fact that the Holy Spirit in the life of the believer will not lead him to do or speak anything or pray something out of his mind or without proper understanding. The charismatics and the Pentecostals today claim that when one is filled with the Spirit, he can pray without understanding it. But such practice is unscriptural. (II Tim.1:7, I Cor.14:15, Mark 12:30).
20. It is shows us that the Bible is harmonious because it teaches that Jesus is the bright and MORNING STAR according to Rev.22:16 (KJV) but Lucifer is "Son of the morning" according to Isaiah 14:12 (KJV). However other versions have Satan also called "Morning Star" in Isaiah 14:12.
21. It supports the truth that God is glorified in the church founded BY Christ Jesus, not in the churches founded by men, Eph.3:21.
22. It supports the fact that a newly born again person must grow by God's word. I Peter 2:2. But other versions such as the Today's English Version (TEV) mentioned that one must grow to be saved.
