Textual Key

In recent years, much has been said and written regarding the excellence, accuracy, and readability of the modern versions of the New Testament. It is often stated that these versions are more accurate than the Authorised (King James) Version because the newer translations are based upon older and better manuscripts than those upon which the Authorised Version is based. There are many today, however, who would not agree with this assessment. It is their contention that the manuscripts of the New Testament used in the modern versions are corrupted and, in effect, detract from essential doctrines of the Bible. The Trinitarian Bible Society has provided a list as a useful guide in opposing the use of these manuscripts and modern translations.
