Amen.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.
When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

About the book
The New King James Version (NKJV) is a modern-English translation of the Christian Bible published in complete form by Thomas Nelson in 1982. It was conceived as a revision of the 1611 King James Version, aiming to preserve the accuracy, dignity, and stylistic beauty of that classic English Bible while replacing language that had become archaic to contemporary readers. The project updated forms such as "thee," "thou," "thy," and "thine," along with older verb endings like "-eth," so that the text could be read and understood by a modern audience without losing its traditional cadence.
The translation was undertaken over roughly seven years by a large body of scholars, church leaders, and lay Christians, with Arthur L. Farstad serving as executive editor. It was released in stages: the New Testament appeared in 1979, the Book of Psalms in 1980, and the full Bible in 1982, with a minor revision completed in 1984. For the New Testament, the NKJV deliberately retained the Textus Receptus, the traditional Greek text that underlay the original King James translation, while the Old Testament drew on the Stuttgart edition of the Biblia Hebraica.
As a translation, the NKJV occupies a distinctive place among modern English Bibles: it seeks continuity with the King James tradition rather than departing from it, keeping the same underlying New Testament text while smoothing the prose for present-day comprehension. This blend of familiarity and readability has made it a widely used version in many English-speaking churches and a common choice for study and public worship, valued by readers who want the tone of the King James Version in more accessible language.
