Post AV Theology Compared to Modern Versions

[ducks]

In light of the two or three current threads on the TR/AV/KJV I thought it may be beneficial to have a sort of repository where we can line by line, verse by verse compare the KJV and modern translations in regard to theology not mss. Hopefully, we will see if it be true or not that their is a difference in theology between the KJV and modern translations due to their respective renderings of said passages.

I'll post the first example (Rev. Winzer brought this one up previously):

Quote:
Gen. 4:7

[kjv]
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

[niv]
If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it."
Are the differences in translations affecting the theological teaching or not? Is the NIV arminian?

I hope many will contribute, especially AV proponents, as this will prove beneficial for all.
