King James Bible 1611

 

   

4:1I therefore the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that yee walke worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
4:2With all lowlinesse and meekenesse, with long suffering, forbearing one another in loue.
4:3Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4:4There is one body, and one spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your calling.
4:5One Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
4:6One God and Father of all, who is aboue all, & through all, & in you all.
4:7But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
4:8Wherefore he saith: When he ascended vp on high, he led captiuitie captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
4:9(Now that he ascended, what is it but that hee also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
4:10He that descended, is the same also that ascended vp far aboue all heauens, that he might fill all things.)
4:11And he gaue some, Apostles: and some, Prophets: and some, Euangelists: and some, Pastors, and teachers:
4:12For the perfecting of the Saints, for the worke of the ministerie, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
4:13Till we all come in the vnitie of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Sonne of God, vnto a perfect man, vnto the measure of the stature of the fulnesse of Christ:
4:14That we hencefoorth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and caried about with euery winde of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftinesse, whereby they lye in waite to deceiue:
4:15But speaking the trueth in loue, may grow vp into him in all things which is the head, euen Christ:
4:16From whom the whole body fitly ioyned together, and compacted by that which euery ioynt supplyeth, according to the effectuall working in the measure of euery part, maketh increase of the body, vnto the edifying of it selfe in loue.
4:17This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee henceforth walke not as other Gentiles walke in the vanitie of their minde,
4:18Hauing the vnderstanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindnesse of their heart:
4:19Who being past feeling, haue giuen themselues ouer vnto lasciuiousnesse, to worke all vncleannesse with greedinesse.
4:20But ye haue not so learned Christ:
4:21If so be that ye haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
4:22That yee put off concerning the former conuersation, the olde man, which is corrupt according to the deceitfull lusts:
4:23And bee renewed in the spirit of your minde:
4:24And that yee put on that new man, which after God is created in righteousnesse, and true holinesse.
4:25Wherefore putting away lying, speake euery man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
4:26Be ye angry and sinne not, let not the Sunne go down vpon your wrath:
4:27Neither giue place to the deuill.
4:28Let him that stole, steale no more: but rather let him labour, working with his handes the thing which is good, that he may haue to giue to him that needeth.
4:29Let no corrupt communication proceede out of your mouth, but that which is good to the vse of edifying, that it may minister grace vnto the hearers.
4:30And grieue not the holy Sririt of God, whereby yee are sealed vnto the day of redemption.
4:31Let all bitternes, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and euill speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,
4:32And bee ye kinde one to another. tender hearted, forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christs sake hath forgiuen you.
King James Bible 1611

King James Bible 1611

The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.

The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
