2 Timothy 4:1
KJV
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
NIV
In the presence of God and of [omit] Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I give you this charge:
In the KJV, the phrase “at his appearing and his kingdom;” is prophetically connected to Christ’s judgment of the quick and the dead. Modern versions subtly add a comma, which adds a separation in thought, thereby connecting “his appearing and his kingdom” back to Paul’s charge instead of Christ’s judgment.
