The KJV stays steered clear from the Vaticanus-type texts and used the Received Text. Bible verse comparison reveals that the KJV is stronger doctrinally and the NIV is doctrinally weaker. Areas of theology considered include Bibliology, Christology, Soteriology, and Eschatology. Bible verses are too many to list here.
