King James Bible 1611

 

   

6:1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
6:2Honour thy father and mother, (which is the first commandement with promise,)
6:3That it may bee well with thee, and thou maiest liue long on the earth.
6:4And yee fathers, prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in the nourture and admonition of the Lord.
6:5Seruants, bee obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with feare and trembling, in singlenesse of your heart, as vnto Christ:
6:6Not with eye seruice as men pleasers, but as the seruants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart:
6:7With good will doing seruice, as to the Lord, and not to men,
6:8Knowing that whatsoeuer good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receiue of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
6:9And ye masters, do the same things vnto them, forbearing threatning: knowing that your master also is in heauen, neither is there respect of persons with him.
6:10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, & in the power of his might.
6:11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the deuill.
6:12For wee wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darknes of this world, against spirituall wickednes in high places.
6:13Wherfore take vnto you the whole armour of God, that yee may be able to withstand in the euill day, and hauing done all, to stand.
6:14Stand therefore, hauing your loynes girt about with trueth, and hauing on the breast-plate of righteousnesse:
6:15And your feete shod with the preparation of the Gospel of peace.
6:16Aboue all, taking the shielde of Faith, wherewith yee shall bee able to quench all the fierie dartes of the wicked.
6:17And take the helmet of saluation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
6:18Praying alwayes with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseuerance, and supplication for all Saints,
6:19And for mee, that vtterance may be giuen vnto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make knowen the mysterie of the Gospel:
6:20For which I am an ambassador in bonds, that therein I may speake boldly, as I ought to speake.
6:21But that yee also may know my affaires, and how I doe, Tychicus a beloued brother, and faithfull minister in the Lord, shall make knowen to you all things.
6:22Whom I haue sent vnto you for the same purpose, that yee might know our affaires, and that he might comfort your hearts.
6:23Peace be to the brethren, and loue, with faith from God the Father, and the Lord Iesus Christ.
6:24Grace be with all them that loue our Lord Iesus Christ in sinceritie.Written from Rome vnto the Ephesians by Tychicus.

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.
