Hebrews 2:16
KJV
For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
NIV
For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants.
In the KJV, this verse is doctrinally loaded- confirming Christ’s incarnation as a man: taking on him the seed of Abraham, not the nature of angels. Modern versions turn this doctrinal declaration about what Christ became into a statement about whom Christ helps. The result is not a minor wording difference, but a significant alteration of scripture.
