I know that is what you said at the beginning should not be the measure, but I expect that is what most differences boil down to.
I cannot compare the NKJV with the TR for several reasons. First, I am English-literate only, not by choice but by training. (I would like to learn Spanish, but my memory won't cooperate.) Secondly, I am content by comparing the NKJV with the KJB and seeing the errors in the NKJV, I find no need to dig deeper. Lastly and most importantly, NO ONE can make the comparison because there is no singular Greek TR that is universally accepted as the actual complete and perfect TR.

I'm with you there Tim. I don't know Greek either. I had discussions with people where they claim that the NKJV wasn't from the TR or used a reading other than a TR reading many times. They usually quoted sites like these as reference to that.
Thanks Tim.
