King James Version (KJV)

The King James Version, first published in 1611, is one of the most beloved and enduring translations of the Bible in the English-speaking world.  Commissioned by King James I of England, this translation was created by a team of over 50 scholars who worked from the best available Hebrew and Greek manuscripts of their time.

The KJV is celebrated for its majestic language, literary beauty, and reverent tone.  Its phrasing has influenced English literature, worship, and Christian thought for over four centuries, and many still regard it as the most poetic and dignified expression of Scripture in English.

While later translations have adopted more contemporary wording, the KJV remains a timeless classic – honored for its accuracy, rhythm, and devotion to the original texts.  Its familiar passages and enduring beauty make it a treasured choice for reading, memorization, and lifelong reflection.
