Why the King JamesBible is Still the Bestand Most Accurate

QUESTION: Haven't there been several revisions of the King James Bible since1611?

ANSWER: No. There have been several editions but no revisions.

EXPLANATION: One of the last ditch defenses of a badly shaken critic of the

Authorized version 1611 is the "revision hoax." They run to this seeming fortress inan attempt to stave off ultimate defeat by their opponents who overwhelm theirfeeble arguments with historic facts, manuscript evidence and to obvious

workings of the Holy Spirit. Once inside, they turn self-confidently to their foesand ask with a smug look, "Which King James do you use, the 1611 or the 1629 or

perhaps the 1769?" The shock of this attack and the momentary confusion thatresults usually allows them time to make good their escape.

Unfortunately, upon entering their castle and closing the door behind them theyfind that their fortress has been systematically torn down, brick by brick, by a

man named Dr. David F. Reagan.

Dr. Reagan pastors the Trinity Baptist Temple in Knoxville, Tennessee. He haswritten a devastating expose on the early editions of the King James Bible

entitled, "The King James Version of 1611--the Myth of Early Revisions."

Dr. Reagan has done an excellent job of destroying the last stronghold of Biblecritics. I see neither a way, nor a reason to try to improve on his finding. So I havesecured his permission to reproduce his pamphlet in its entirety:

THE KING JAMES VERSION OF 1611

THE MYTH OF EARLY REVISIONS

Introduction

Men have been "handling the word of God deceitfully" (II Cor. 4:2) ever since thedevil first taught Eve how. From Cain to Balaam, from Jehudi to the scribes andPharisees, from the Dark Age theologians to present-day scholars, the living wordsof the Almighty God have been prime targets for man's corrupting hand.

attacks on the Word of God are threefold: addition, subtraction, and substitution.

From Adam's day to the computer age, the strategies have remained the same.There is nothing new under the sun.

One attack which is receiving quite a bit of attention these days is a direct attackon the Word of God as preserved in the English language: the King James Version

of 1611. The attack referred to is the myth which claims that since the KingJames Version has already been revised four times, there should be and can be no

valid objection to other revisions. This myth was used by the English Revisers of 1881 and has been revived in recent years by Fundamentalist scholars hoping to

sell their latest translation. This book is given as an answer to this attack. Thepurpose of the material is not to convince those who would deny this preservation

but to strengthen the faith of those who already believe in a preserved EnglishBible.

One major question often arises in any attack such as this. How far should we goin answering the critics? If we were to attempt to answer every shallow objection

to the infallibility of the English Bible, we would never be able to accomplishanything else. Sanity must prevail somewhere. As always, the answer is in God'sWord. Proverbs 26:4-5 states: Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thoualso be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in hisown conceit.

Obviously, there are times when a foolish query should be ignored and times whenit should be met with an answer. If to answer the attack will make you look as

foolish as the attacker, then the best answer is to ignore the question. Forinstance, if you are told that the Bible cannot be infallible because so-and-sobelieves that it is, and he is divorced, then you may safely assume that silence is

the best answer. On the other hand, there are often questions and problems that,if true, would be serious. To ignore these issues would be to leave the Bibleattacker wise in his own conceit. I believe that the question of revisions to theKing James Version of 1611 is a question of the second class. If the King JamesVersion has undergone four major revisions of its text, then to oppose furtherrevisions on the basis of an established English text would truly be faulty. For this

reason, this attack should and must be answered. Can the argument be answered?Certainly! That is the purpose of this book.

I--THE PRINTING CONDITIONS OF 1611

If God did preserve His Word in the English language through the AuthorizedVersion of 1611 (and He did), then where is our authority for the infalliblewording? Is it in the notes of the translators? Or is it to be found in the proof copy

sent to the printers? If so, then our authority is lost because these papers are lost.But, you say, the authority is in the first copy which came off the printing press.

Alas, that copy has also certainly perished. In fact, if the printing of the EnglishBible followed the pattern of most printing jobs, the first copy was probably

discarded because of bad quality. That leaves us with existing copies of the firstprinting. They are the ones often pointed out as the standard by which all other

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/why-kjv-is-best-most-accurate 3/41

King James Bibles are to be compared. But are they? Can those early printers of 

the first edition not be allowed to make printing errors? We need to establish onething from the outset. The authority for our preserved English text is not found in

any human work. The authority for our preserved and infallible English text is inGod! Printers may foul up at times and humans will still make plenty of errors,but God in His power and mercy will preserve His text despite the weaknesses of 

fallible man. Now, let us look at the pressures on a printer in the year of 1611.

Although the printing press had been invented in 1450 by Johann Gutenburg inGermany (161 years before the 1611 printing), the equipment used by the printer

had changed very little. Printing was still very slow and difficult. All type was setby hand, one piece at a time (that's one piece at a time through the whole Bible),

and errors were an expected part of any completed book. Because of thisdifficulty and also because the 1611 printers had no earlier editions from which toprofit, the very first edition of the King James version had a number of printing

errors. As shall later be demonstrated, these were not the sort of textualalterations which are freely made in modern bibles. They were simple, obvious

printing errors of the sort that can still be found at times in recent editions evenwith all of the advantages of modern printing. These errors do not render a Bible

useless, but they should be corrected in later editions.

The two original printings of the Authorized Version demonstrate the difficulty of 

printing in 1611 without making mistakes. Both editions were printed in Oxford.Both were printed in the same year: 1611. The same printers did both jobs. Mostlikely, both editions were printed on the same printing press. Yet, in a strict

comparison of the two editions, approximately 100 textual differences can befound. In the same vein the King James critics can find only about 400 allegedtextual alterations in the King James Version after 375 years of printing and four

so-called revisions! Something is rotten in Scholarsville! The time has come toexamine these "revisions."

II--THE FOUR SO-CALLED REVISIONS OF THE 1611 KJV

Much of the information in this section is taken from a book by F.H.A. Scrivener

called The Authorized Edition of the English Bible (1611), Its Subsequent Reprints

and Modern Representatives. The book is as pedantic as its title indicates. Theinteresting point is that Scrivener, who published this book in 1884, was a

member of the Revision Committee of 1881. He was not a King James Biblebeliever, and therefore his material is not biased toward the Authorized Version.

In the section of Scrivener's book dealing with the KJV "revisions," one initialdetail is striking. The first two so-called major revisions of the King James Bibleoccurred within 27 years of the original printing. (The language must have been

changing very rapidly in those days.) The 1629 edition of the Bible printed inCambridge is said to have been the first revision. A revision it was not, but simply

a careful correction of earlier printing errors. Not only was this edition completedjust eighteen years after the translation, but two of the men who participated in

this printing, Dr. Samuel Ward and John Bois, had worked on the originaltranslation of the King James Version. Who better to correct early errors than two

Page 4: Why KJV is Best & Most Accurate

7/29/2019 Why KJV is Best & Most Accurate

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/why-kjv-is-best-most-accurate 4/41

who had worked on the original translation! Only nine years later and in

Cambridge again, another edition came out which is supposed to have been thesecond major revision. Both Ward and Bois were still alive, but it is not known if 

they participated at this time. But even Scrivener, who as you remember workedon the English Revised Version of 1881, admitted that the Cambridge printers hadsimply reinstated words and clauses overlooked by the 1611 printers and amended

manifest errors. According to a study which will be detailed later, 72% of theapproximately 400 textual corrections in the KJV were completed by the time of 

the 1638 Cambridge edition, only 27 years after the original printing!

Just as the first two so-called revisions were actually two stages of one process--the purification of early printing errors--so the last two so-called revisions were

two stages in another process--the standardization of the spelling. These twoeditions were only seven years apart (1762 and 1769) with the second onecompleting what the first had started. But when the scholars are numbering

revisions, two sounds better than one. Very few textual corrections werenecessary at this time. The thousands of alleged changes are spelling changes

made to match the established correct forms. These spelling changes will bediscussed later. Suffice it to say at this time that the tale of four major revisions

is truly a fraud and a myth. But you say, there are still changes whether they befew or many. What are you going to do with the changes that are still there? Letus now examine the character of these changes.

III--THE SO-CALLED THOUSANDS OF CHANGES

Suppose someone were to take you to a museum to see an original copy of theKing James Version. You come to the glass case where the Bible is displayed andlook down at the opened Bible through the glass. Although you are not allowed to

flip through its pages, you can readily tell that there are some very differentthings about this Bible from the one you own. You can hardly read its words, andthose you can make out are spelled in odd and strange ways. Like others beforeyou, you leave with the impression that the King James Version has undergone amultitude of changes since its original printing in 1611. But beware, you have justbeen taken by a very clever ploy. The differences you saw are not what they seem

to be. Let's examine the evidence.

Printing Changes

For proper examination, the changes can be divided into three kinds: printing

changes, spelling changes, and textual changes. Printing changes will beconsidered first. The type style used in 1611 by the KJV translators was the GothicType Style. The type style you are reading right now and are familiar with is

Roman Type. Gothic Type is sometimes called Germanic because it originated inGermany. Remember, that is where printing was invented. The Gothic letters

were formed to resemble the hand-drawn manuscript lettering of the MiddleAges. At first, it was the only style in use. The Roman Type Style was invented

fairly early, but many years passed before it became the predominant style inmost European countries. Gothic continued to be used in Germany until recent

Page 4 of 41Why the King James Bible is Still the Best and Most Accurate

1/27/2012http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Bible/was_the_king_james_revised.htm

Page 5: Why KJV is Best & Most Accurate

7/29/2019 Why KJV is Best & Most Accurate

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/why-kjv-is-best-most-accurate 5/41

years. In 1611 in England, Roman Type was already very popular and would soon

supersede the Gothic. However, the original printers chose the Gothic Style forthe KJV because it was considered to be more beautiful and eloquent than the

Roman. But the change to Roman Type was not long in coming. In 1612, the firstKing James Version using Roman Type was printed. Within a few years, all theBibles printed used the Roman Type Style.

Please realize that a change in type style no more alters the text of the Bible than

a change in format or type size does. However, the modern reader who has notbecome familiar with Gothic can find it very difficult to understand. Besides some

general change in form, several specific letter changes need to be observed. Forinstance, the Gothic "s" looks like the Roman "s" when used as a capital letter or

at the end of a word. But when it is used as a lower case "s" at the beginning or inthe middle of a word, the letter looks like our "f." Therefore, also becomes alfoand set becomes fet. Another variation is found in the German "v" and "u." The

Gothic "v" looks like a Roman "u" while the Gothic "u" looks like a Roman "v." Thisexplains why our "w" is called a double-u and not a double-v. Sound confusing? It

is until you get used to it. In the 1611 edition, love is loue, us is vs, and ever iseuer. But remember, these are not even spelling changes. They are simply type

style changes. In another instance, the Gothic "j" looks like our "i." So Jesusbecomes Iefus (notice the middle "s" changed to "f") and joy becomes ioy. Eventhe Gothic "d" had the stem leaning back over the circle in a shape resembling

that of the Greek Delta. These changes account for a large percentage of the"thousands" of changes in the KJV, yet they do no harm whatsoever to the text.They are nothing more than a smokescreen set up by the attackers of our English

Bible.

Spelling Changes

Another kind of change found in the history of the Authorized Version are changesof orthography or spelling. Most histories date the beginning of Modern Englisharound the year 1500. Therefore, by 1611 the grammatical structure and basicvocabulary of present-day English had long been established. However, thespelling did not stabilize at the same time. In the 1600s spelling was according to

whim. There was no such thing as correct spelling. No standards had beenestablished. An author often spelled the same word several different ways, often

in the same book and sometimes on the same page. And these were the educated

people. Some of you reading this today would have found the 1600s a spellingparadise. Not until the eighteenth century did the spelling begin to take a stable

form. Therefore, in the last half of the eighteenth century, the spelling of theKing James Version of 1611 was standardized.

What kind of spelling variations can you expect to find between your presentedition and the 1611 printing? Although every spelling difference cannot be

categorized, several characteristics are very common. Additional "e"'s were oftenfound at the end of the words such as feare, darke, and beare. Also, double

vowels were much more common than they are today. You would find mee, bee,and mooued instead of me, be, and moved. Double consonants were also much

Page 6: Why KJV is Best & Most Accurate

more common. What would ranne, euill, and ftarres be according to present- dayspelling? See if you can figure them out. The present-day spellings would be ran,

evil, and stars. These typographical and spelling changes account for almost all of the so-called thousands of changes in the King James Bible. None of them alter

the text in any way. Therefore they cannot be honestly compared with thousandsof true textual changes which are blatantly made in the modern versions.

Textual Changes

Almost all of the alleged changes have been accounted for. We now come to the

question of actual textual differences between our present editions and that of 1611. There are some differences between the two, but they are not the changes

of a revision. They are instead the correction of early printing errors. That this isa fact may be seen in three things: (1) the character of the changes, (2) thefrequency of the changes throughout the Bible, and (3) the time the changes were

made. First, let us look at the character of the changes made from the time of the first printing of the Authorized English Bible. The changes from the 1611

edition that are admittedly textual are obviously printing errors because of thenature of these changes. They are not textual changes made to alter the reading.

In the first printing, words were sometimes inverted. Sometimes a plural waswritten as singular or vice versa. At times a word was miswritten for one that wassimilar. A few times a word or even a phrase was omitted. The omissions were

obvious and did not have the doctrinal implications of those found in moderntranslations. In fact, there is really no comparison between the corrections madein the King James text and those proposed by the scholars of today.

F.H.A. Scrivener, in the appendix of his book, lists the variations between the1611 edition of the KJV and later printings. A sampling of these corrections is

given below. In order to be objective, the samples give the first textualcorrection on consecutive left-hand pages of Scrivener's book. The 1611 reading isgiven first; then the present reading; and finally, the date the correction was first

made.

1 this thing--this thing also (1638)

2 shalt have remained--ye shall have remained (1762)

3 Achzib, nor Helbath, nor Aphik--of Achzib, nor of Helbath, nor of Aphik (1762)

4 requite good--requite me good (1629)

5 this book of the Covenant--the book of this covenant (1629)

6 chief rulers--chief ruler (1629)

7 And Parbar--At Parbar (1638)

8 For this cause--And for this cause (1638)

9 For the king had appointed--for so the king had appointed (1629)

10 Seek good--seek God (1617)

11 The cormorant--But the cormorant (1629)

12 returned--turned (1769)

13 a fiery furnace--a burning fiery furnace (1638)

14 The crowned--Thy crowned (1629)

15 thy right doeth--thy right hand doeth (1613)

16 the wayes side--the way side (1743)

17 which was a Jew--which was a Jewess (1629)

18 the city--the city of the Damascenes (1629)

19 now and ever--both now and ever (1638)

20 which was of our father's--which was our fathers (1616)

Before your eyes are 5% of the textual changes made in the King James Version in

375 years. Even if they were not corrections of previous errors, they would be of no comparison to modern alterations. But they are corrections of printing errors,and therefore no comparison is at all possible. Look at the list for yourself and

you will find only one that has serious doctrinal implications. In fact, in anexamination of Scrivener's entire appendix, it is the only variation found by thisauthor that could be accused of being doctrinal. I am referring to Psalm 69:32

where the 1611 edition has "seek good" when the Bible should have read "seekGod." Yet, even with this error, two points demonstrate that this was indeed aprinting error. First, the similarity of the words "good" and "God" in spelling showshow easily a weary typesetter could misread the proof and put the wrong word in

the text. Second, this error was so obvious that it was caught and corrected in theyear 1617, only six years after the original printing and well before the first so-

called revision. The myth that there are several major revisions to the 1611 KJVshould be getting clearer. But there is more.

Not only does the character of the changes show them to be printing errors, sodoes their frequency. Fundamentalist scholars refer to the thousands of revisions

made to the 1611 as if they were on a par with the recent bible versions. They arenot. The overwhelming majority of them are either type style or spelling changes.

The few which do remain are clearly corrections of printing errors made becauseof the tediousness involved in the early printing process. The sample list givenabove will demonstrate just how careful Scrivener was in listing all the variations.Yet, even with this great care, only approximately 400 variations are named

Page 7 of 41Why the King James Bible is Still the Best and Most Accurate

1/27/2012http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Bible/was_the_king_james_revised.htm

Page 8: Why KJV is Best & Most Accurate

7/29/2019 Why KJV is Best & Most Accurate

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/why-kjv-is-best-most-accurate 8/41

between the 1611 edition and modern copies. Remember that there were 100

variations between the first two Oxford editions which were both printed in 1611.Since there are almost 1200 chapters in the Bible, the average variation per

chapter (after 375 years) is one third, i.e., one correction per every threechapters. These are changes such as "chief rulers" to "chief ruler" and "And Parbar"to "At Parbar." But there is yet one more evidence that these variations are simply

corrected printing errors: the early date at which they were corrected.

The character and frequency of the textual changes clearly separate them frommodern alterations. But the time the changes were made settles the issue

absolutely. The great majority of the 400 corrections were made within a fewyears of the original printing. Take, for example, our earlier sampling. Of the

twenty corrections listed, one was made in 1613, one in 1616, one in 1617, eightin 1629, five in 1638, one in 1743, two in 1762, and one in 1769. That means that16 out of 20 corrections, or 80%, were made within twenty-seven years of the

1611 printing. That is hardly the long drawn out series of revisions the scholarswould have you to believe. In another study made by examining every other page

of Scrivener's appendix in detail, 72% of the textual corrections were made by1638. There is no "revision" issue.

The character of the textual changes is that of obvious errors. The frequency of the textual changes is sparse, occurring only once per three chapters. The

chronology of the textual changes is early with about three fourths of themoccurring within twenty-seven years of the first printing. All of these detailsestablish the fact that there were no true revisions in the sense of updating the

language or correcting translation errors. There were only editions whichcorrected early typographical errors. Our source of authority for the exactwording of the 1611 Authorized Version is not in the existing copies of the first

printing. Our source of authority for the exact wording of our English Bible is inthe preserving power of Almighty God. Just as God did not leave us the originalautographs to fight and squabble over, so He did not see fit to leave us the proof 

copy of the translation. Our authority is in the hand of God as always. You canpraise the Lord for that!

IV--CHANGES IN THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES

An in-depth study of the changes made in the book of Ecclesiastes would help to

illustrate the principles stated above. The author is grateful to Dr. David Reese of Millbrook, Alabama, for his work in this area. By comparing a 1611 reprint of the

original edition put out by Thomas Nelson & Sons with recent printing of the KingJames Version, Dr. Reese was able to locate four variations in the book of Ecclesiastes. The reference is given first; then the text of the Thomas Nelson 1611reprint. This is followed by the reading of the present editions of the 1611 KJV

and the date the change was made:

1 1:5 the place--his place (1638)

2 2:16 shall be--shall all be (1629)

Page 8 of 41Why the King James Bible is Still the Best and Most Accurate

Page 9: Why KJV is Best & Most Accurate

7/29/2019 Why KJV is Best & Most Accurate

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/why-kjv-is-best-most-accurate 9/41

3 8:17 out, yea further--out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther (1629)

4 11:17 thing is it--thing it is (?)

Several things should be noted about these changes. The last variation ("thing isit" to "thing it is") is not mentioned by Scrivener who was a very careful and

accurate scholar. Therefore, this change may be a misprint in the Thomas Nelsonreprint. That would be interesting. The corrected omission in chapter eight is one

of the longest corrections of the original printing. But notice that it was correctedin 1629. The frequency of printing errors is average (four errors in twelve

chapters). But the most outstanding fact is that the entire book of Ecclesiastesreads exactly like our present editions without even printing errors by the year1638. That's more than 350 years ago. By that time, the Bible was being printed inRoman type. Therefore, all (and I mean all) that has changed in 350 years in thebook of Ecclesiastes is that the spelling has been standardized! As stated before,

the main purpose of the 1629 and 1638 Cambridge editions was the correction of earlier printing errors. And the main purpose of the 1762 and 1769 editions was

the standardization of spelling.

V--THE SO-CALLED JUSTIFICATION FOR OTHER REVISIONS

Maybe now you see that the King James Version of 1611 has not been revised but

only corrected. But why does it make that much difference? Although there are

several reasons why this issue is important, the most pressing one is thatfundamentalist scholars are using this myth of past revisions to justify their own

tampering with the text. The editors of the New King James Version haveprobably been the worst in recent years to use this propaganda ploy. In thepreface of the New King James they have stated, "For nearly four hundred years,

and throughout several revisions of its English form, the King James Bible hasbeen deeply revered among the English- speaking peoples of the world." In themidst of their flowery rhetoric, they strongly imply that their edition is only acontinuation of the revisions that have been going on for the past 375 years. Thisimplication, which has been stated directly by others, could not be more false. Toprove this point, we will go back to the book of Ecclesiastes.

An examination of the first chapter in Ecclesiastes in the New King James Versionreveals approximately 50 changes from our present edition. In order to be fair,

spelling changes (cometh to comes; labour to labor, etc.) were not included inthis count. That means there are probably about 600 alterations in the book of 

Ecclesiastes and approximately 60,000 changes in the entire Bible. If you accuseme of including every recognizable change, you are correct. But I am onlycounting the sort of changes which were identified in analyzing the 1611 King

James. That's only fair. Still, the number of changes is especially baffling for aversion which claims to be an updating in the same vein as earlier revisions.

According to the fundamentalist scholar, the New King James is only a fifth in aseries of revisions. Then pray tell me how four "revisions" and 375 years brought

only 400 changes while the fifth revision brought about 60,000 additional changes?That means that the fifth revision made 150 times more changes than the total

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/why-kjv-is-best-most-accurate 10/41

number of changes in the first four! That's preposterous!

Not only is the frequency of the changes unbelievable, but the character of thealterations is serious. Although many of the alterations seem harmless enough at

first glance, many are much more serious. The editors of the New King JamesVersion were sly enough not to alter the most serious blunders of the modern

bibles. Yet, they were not afraid to change the reading in those places that areunfamiliar to the average fundamentalist. In these areas, the New King JamesVersion is dangerous. Below are some of the more harmful alterations made in the

book of Ecclesiastes. The reference is given first; then the reading as found in theKing James Version; and last, the reading as found in the New King James Version.

1:13 sore travail; grievous task

1:14 vexation of spirit; grasping for the wind

1:16 my heart had great experience of wisdom; My heart has understood great

wisdom

2:3 to give myself unto; to gratify my flesh with

2:3 acquainting; guiding

2:21 equity; skill

3:10 the travail, which God hath given; the God-given task

3:11 the world; eternity

3:18 that might manifest them; God tests them

3:18 they themselves are beasts; they themselves are like beasts

3:22 portion; heritage

4:4 right work; skillful work

5:1 Keep thy foot; Walk prudently

5:6 the angel; the messenger of God

5:8 he that is higher than the highest; high official

5:20 God answereth him; God keeps him busy

6:3 untimely birth; stillborn child

7:29 inventions; schemes

8:1 boldness; sternness

8:10 the place of the holy; the place of holiness

10:1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinkingsavour; Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment

10:10 If the iron be blunt; If the ax is dull

10:10 wisdom is profitable to direct; wisdom brings success

12:9 gave good heed; pondered

12:11 the masters of assemblies; scholars

This is only a sampling of the changes in the book, but notice what is done.

Equity, which is a trait of godliness, becomes skill (2:21). The world becomes

eternity (3:11). Man without God is no longer a beast but just like a beast (3:18).The clear reference to deity in Ecclesiastes 5:8 ("he that is higher than thehighest") is successfully removed ("higher official"). But since success is whatwisdom is supposed to bring us (10:10), this must be progress. At least God is

keeping the scholars busy (5:20). Probably the most revealing of the abovementioned changes is the last one listed where "the masters of assemblies"

become "scholars." According to the New King James, "the words of scholars arelike well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd." The masters of assemblies are

replaced by the scholars who become the source of the Shepherd's words. That iswhat these scholars would like us to think, but it is not true.

In conclusion, the New King James is not a revision in the vein of former revisionsof the King James Version. It is instead an entirely new translation. As stated inthe introduction, the purpose of this book is not to convince those who use theother versions. The purpose of this book is to expose a fallacious argument thathas been circulating in fundamentalist circles for what it is: an overblown myth.That is, the myth that the New King James Version and others like it are nothing

more than a continuation of revisions which have periodically been made to the

King James Version since 1611. There is one problem with this theory. There areno such revisions.

The King James Bible of 1611 has not undergone four (or any) major revisions.

Therefore, the New King James Version is not a continuation of what has gone onbefore. It should in fact be called the Thomas Nelson Version. They hold thecopyright. The King James Version we have today has not been revised but

purified. We still have no reason to doubt that the Bible we hold in our hands isthe very word of God preserved for us in the English language. The authority for

its veracity lies not in the first printing of the King James Version in 1611, or inthe character of King James I, or in the scholarship of the 1611 translators, or in

the literary accomplishments of Elizabethan England, or even in the GreekReceived Text. Our authority for the infallible words of the English Bible lies in
