Revelation 1:5
KJV
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
GNT
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first to be raised from death and who is also the ruler of the kings of the world. He loves us, and by his [omit] sacrificial death he has freed us from our sins
Besides the most noticeable difference of “washed” vs “freed/released”, modern translations also change “loved us” to “loves us” (past tense to present tense) which is a big deal because the King James reading clearly points our hearts and minds back to the cross where Christ loved us and gave himself for us. The word “own” is also gone in the modern readings, deleting the personal, precious emphasis on Christ’s own blood.
