Hi

First of all, I think it is appropriate to say that I am glad to see the boards up and running again. I really missed them.

I was wondering if anyone knows whether there are any modern day Bibles that are translated from the same text that the KJV is.
My understanding is that the KJV was translated from the Byzantine text, while the majority of the Bibles out there use the Alexandrian text.
My main Bible is the KJV, but I am thinking that I would like to get a new Bible that is at least as accurate as the KJV. I am leaning towards the ESV, because I am told that it is very accurate, yet written in today’s English.
However, my understanding is that it was not translated from the Byzantine text and I have yet to find one that is.
This is not a big deal to me, but from what I have read about the Byzantine text and the Alexandrian text, I favor the Byzantine text.
