The King James Version is written in Middle English, (the same English as Shakespeare's plays) which contains words and phrasing which many people find difficult to understand. To make Bible reading easier the new King James version has modified the older and harder to read words in the text to their more modern equivalents.
Fore example:
Matthew 5: 38-39 (King James Version)
Ye have heard that it hath been said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth'; But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew 5: 38-39 (New King James Version)
You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I tell you not to resist an evil person. But whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.

What is the difference between the king James version bible and the 21st century king James version Bible?
It is pretty much the same. One difference I found was at Psalms 68:4, whereas the 21st Century King James uses the devine name of God, Jehovah, the King James uses the shortened form, Jah.
