And as far as the KJV being more doctrinally accurate, I could probably find dozens of verses in the NRSV that fit better with LDS doctrine than their counterpart from the KJV. The baptism for the dead scripture in 1 Cor. 15 being one of them.
john 4:24 NIV has "God is spirit" instead of "God is a spirit"
