Missing and Incorrectly Translated Verses in The NIVPhrases that are present in the King James Version (KJV) but absent in modern translation New International Version (NIV) are italized in KJV.Exodus 6:3 KJV3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.Exodus 6:3 NIV3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty,[a] but by my name the Lord [b] I did not make myself fully known to them.The word "Jehovah" was replaced with the word "Lord" in the NIV, this is a incorrect because of the following reason, the Name "Jehovah" also known as "Yahweh" is a Name by which God is worshiped as the "Self-Existent One;" One who reveals himself through his creation. In this instance the name "Lord" would not have done justice to the greatness of God. There are also people who are called Lord. The title "Lord" in this instance does not speak of the greatness of God.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O LuciferIsaiah 14:12 KJV12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!Isaiah 14:12 NIV2 How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!The NIV drops the name, "Lucifer," which is another name for the Devil and replaces it with "morning star" in place of "son of the morning" in the KJV. JESUS is referred to as "Morning Star" in the book of Revelation.*Proverbs 8:18 KJV18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.Proverbs 8:18 NIV18 With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity"Righteousness" is correct as in the KJV, not "prosperity" as translated in the NIV. A person can be prosperous without being righteous, the world can make us prosperous but it can never make us righteous.*Jeremiah 29:11 KJV11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil to give you an expected end.Jeremiah 29:11 NIV11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.The NIV replaces the word "peace" with "prosper." We can be prosperous without having peace, God is not against His children prospering, but we need to keep the verses in context.
Lo, I see four men looseDaniel 3:25 KJV25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.Daniel 3:25 NIV25 He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”The NIV says, "the fourth looks like the son of the gods." "The Son of God," as translated in the KJV, and not "the gods," as translated in the NIV. Some of the translators of the NIV have tried to make the Word of God acceptable to all religions. The Word of God cannot be changed to accommodate man, man needs to conform to the Word of God.* Matthew 5:44 KJV44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;Matthew 5:44 NIV44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,Omitted - "bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you."*Matthew 6:13 KJV13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.Matthew 6:13 NIV13 And lead us not into temptation,[a] but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’The NIV omits an important part of the "Lord's Prayer, "For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory for ever, Amen."*Matthew 15:6 (KJV)6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
