The 21st Century King James Version is a minor update of the King James Version. However, unlike the New King James Version, it does not alter the language significantly from the 1611 version, retaining the old-style "thees" and "thous". What it does attempt to do though is to replace some of the vocabulary which no longer would make sense to a modern reader.
