The KJV is not based on our best manuscripts, neither is it modern English. If you want to critique the Recovery Version, it might be better to have a working knowledge of the Greek New Testament and compare the RecV to a modern translation like the NASB, the NIV, or the NLT.
Frankly the KJV was “authorized” by the King of England, and not by any real spiritual authority. While Shakespearean English has a literary lure to a certain segment of society, it should not in any way be accepted as the de facto standard of truth.
