In response to KJV Only critics over the use of the newer Greek texts in modern translations, the ''New King James Version (NKJV)'' was published in 1982. This translation is based on the King James Version and the underlying texts used therein, but with the language partly updated into modern English. The preface claims that the work is a fresh translation of the "majority text," i.e. the text of the majority of surviving manuscripts; this justification was developed after lawyers for Thomas Nelson Publishers told the editors they would not be able to copyright a revision of KJV.
