Product Details and Description of



This is the original 1611 King James Bible with Apocrypha No internet connection needed. The King James Bible is the most printed book in the history of the world. Any so-called “1611” King James Version you buy today at the local Christian Bookstore is absolutely NOT the 1611. .. it is the 1769 Baskerville Birmingham revision, even though it admits that nowhere, and may even say “1611” in the front… it’s just not true. Prepare to be shocked! The spellings have been revised, and some words changed, in almost every printing done since 1769, and fourteen entire books plus extra prefatory features have been removed from almost every printing done since 1885! The 1611 King James Bible was writen more than four hundred years ago when the English language was different. The original 1611 A.D. text, written in Early Modern English, shows the language in closer association with its Latin roots. Spelling was in Jacobean style which was not entirely standardized, but could be read phonetically. The original typeface was in Gothic style. Although both the typestyle and the older language may be considered difficult to read by some 21st Century English readers, the King James Version is recognized and respected for its beauty, cadence, and poetic feel. English spelling differences in John 3:16 - U = V (Example: loued = loved; gauve = gave) - y with 'e' above it was used as represent the 'thorn' character, which means 'the') - nn (Sonne = Son) Other spelling differences - V = U (Example: vnto = unto | See John 1:11) - VV = W (Example: svvord = sword) [The V was called a 'U', this is why we still call a W a 'double U'] - I = J (Example: Iesus = Jesus | See John 1:17) - Long "s" letters look similar to "f" letters (Notice the 'Old Testament' type example on the right)

1611 kjv

This app has helped me a lot and for it to be free is mind blowing. When I need my 1611 kjv all I got to do is hit the app and go to war.... Well until they pull the plug on the phones and then you would need your hard or paper back Bible in your possession. I advise that you have both at all times. Then you always be prepared.

A Refreshing New Look at the Bible

For me reading this bible is like taking a step back in time. The spelling of the words is like a spelling test in old English. It makes you feel like you’re there in that time period. Foe me it gives the words so much more meaning and life. I enjoy reading it very much.

Best Bible to read.

I find it very easy to read this old style type English used in the 1611 Authorized King James Holy Bible. If you have the first letter and last letter accurate in a word, then you can make out the word even if all the letters in between are scrambled. It is a good bible to read from.
