King James Bible 1611

 

   

1:1Paul and Timotheus the seruants of Iesus Christ, to all the Saints in Christ Iesus, which are at Philippi, with the Bishops and Deacons:
1:2Grace be vnto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Iesus Christ.
1:3I thanke my God vpon euery remembrance of you,
1:4Alwayes in euery prayer of mine for you all making request, with ioy
1:5For your felowship in the Gospel from the first day vntill now;
1:6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you, will performe it vntil the day of Iesus Christ:
1:7Euen as it is meete for mee to thinke this of you all, because I haue you in my heart, in as much as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the Gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
1:8For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all, in the bowels of Iesus Christ.
1:9And this I pray, that your loue may abound yet more & more in knowledge, and in all iudgment.
1:10That ye may approue things that are excellent, that ye may be sincere, and without offence till the day of Christ.
1:11Being filled with the fruites of righteousnesse, which are by Iesus Christ vnto the glory and praise of God.
1:12But I would yee should vnderstand brethren, that the things which happened vnto mee, haue fallen out rather vnto the furtherance of the Gospel.
1:13So that my bonds in Christ, are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places.
1:14And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident, by my bonds, are much more bold to speake the word without feare.
1:15Some in deed preach Christ, euen of enuie and strife, and some also of good will.
1:16The one preach Christ of contention, not syncerely, supposing to adde affliction to my bonds:
1:17But the other of loue, knowing that I am set for the defence of the Gospel.
1:18What then? Notwithstanding euery way, whether in pretence, or in trueth: Christ is preached, and I therein doe reioyce, yea, and will reioyce.
1:19For I know that this shall turne to my saluation through your prayer, and the supplie of the spirit of Iesus Christ,
1:20According to my earnest expectation, and my hope, that in nothing I shalbe ashamed: but that with all boldnes, as alwayes, so now also Christ shal be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or by death.
1:21For to me to liue is Christ, and to die is gaine.
1:22But if I liue in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shal chuse, I wote not.
1:23For I am in a strait betwixt two, hauing a desire to depart, & to bee with Christ, which is farre better.
1:24Neuertheles, to abide in the flesh, is more needfull for you.
1:25And hauing this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and ioy of faith,
1:26That your reioycing may bee more abundant in Iesus Christ for me, by my comming to you againe.
1:27Onely let your conuersation bee as it becommeth the Gospel of Christ, that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may heare of your affaires, that yee stand fast in one spirit, with one minde, striuing together for the faith of the Gospel,
1:28And in nothing terrified by your aduersaries, which is to them an euident token of perdition: but to you of saluation, and that of God.
1:29For vnto you it is giuen in the behalfe of Christ, not onely to beleeue on him, but also to suffer for his sake,
1:30Hauing the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now heare to be in me.
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.
