The only true text is the Greek.
Meek is not the right word.
I speak Greek - the translated sentence above is mine. KJB uses meek. And meek is wrong. (Or maybe the English dictionary is wrong in describing meek).
I’m not saying that my translation of a single sentence is much. Only that KJB is wrong here.
I replied to your other comment before you deleted it. Heavily disagree that the only ‘true text’ is the Greek. That would mean that only native Greek speakers ever get to read the pure Words of God, and that simply does not agree with Scripture or the nature of God as I know Him. Grace and peace to you brother
You are mistaken friend. God speaks every language and has the ability to ensure His Words are accurately translated into any language for His children to read and understand.
Every child of God is a priest by the way-
“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:”
1 Peter 2:9
Jesus is the Word. The most important thing is to have Him (and He, you) and His Spirit to understand the Bible anyway. This invitation is available to little children and ‘the simple’. These do not have the ability to learn another language, and yet the Lord has made a way for them to receive His pure Words through accurate translations in their native tongue.
I’m not talking about NIV or ESV or any of these modern muddled Bibles based on Alexandrian or Catholic texts, but the TR only.

Above reasoning - is why the christian Orthodox Church still gives sermons in the original koine Greek.
Translation for more to have access is great.
But the priests and pastors should be learning greek period.

Humans are fallible and sinners. Our texts aren’t holy - only the words and direct testament of Jesus is.
