Perhaps posting the verses in both KJV and a Newer Version? It's always helpful to have a comparison; and, even if they skip the KJV, at least we provided them with the opportunity to read it. I think an older version is important for some areas of scripture, for example, Matthew 17:21 (which is absent from some of the newer versions, though present elsewhere in the text), also Mark 9:29 which says "prayer and fasting", while some of the newer versions just say "prayer". Mark 7:19 in newer versions says all foods are made clean, but the older versions do not. Now that I'm checking, the "World English Bible" (WEB) includes those details of the older versions I just mentioned, while using a more contemporary English. So, I don't know which would be a better solution: two versions (KJV + Newer Version) or just one modern version (WEB) ? or KJV + WEB? Regardless of the versions, I'll continue reading; so, it doesn't affect me so much. But if people can't understand, then it brings no benefit to them—and they're probably the ones who would benefit the most seeing as they're not familiar with scripture yet.
