The biggest difference is prose. I don't see how any Bible can be preferred over another except for prose.

We gotta reach the new generation. I have an idea. Let's bring the Bible to the Kids, in a form they can relate to. Let's make a simplified hip hop/rap version of some of the Bible's best stories and poems. The Bible simplified in rap verse. We can spice up God's word with multicultural language to give it appeal to young people who are often just too cool for church.

KJV people are completely uninterested in the original Greek.

The ESV is not only the most literary, it is also the most faithful to the best and earliest Greek manuscripts. It is the best version to read.

Can you show me what in the image evokes this choice of word? I think the right word would be unholy, your word choice is irrelevant.

It mostly just depends what the actual koine Greek says if the NIV is more accurate than KJV shouldn't be replaced for the word of God.
