All Bible versions often translate present participles in this way.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

Additional Documentation
One of the things that makes the Bible unique beyond all other books is the prophecy found in it.
In Genesis 22:8 we find Abraham prophesying God would provide Himself as a lamb (Jesus being the Lamb of God).
The new translations change the prophecy to merely God sending a lamb to be slain.
God didn’t send a lamb which made Abraham a liar.
In the immediate text, God sent a ram which is the father of a lamb.
This is one of the major verses that the New King James matches the new translation and eliminates the prophecy.
