    What version of the K J V based on, is it the 1769 version or earlier ?
  • Bert E. Evans - In Reply - 2 years ago
    I need to ask this in a different way, Im trying to find out what our Pastor is saying when He says the K J V was changed seven times and He Uses the 1769 version, I just want to study the best version of the K J V Bible, I have my first Bible and other ones, the Scofield 1969, Ryrie study Bible 1986, The Open Bible, and the Holman1988 new testament which was given to me recently, But Ive never liked the Holman translation I dont know why, I just dont like it, I just dont want to study something that is NOT Bible truth in its best form, Im 75 years old and never been to College, but Im not unleared in other ways, I was a Master Mechanic for over 40 years, a God given talent, Thank You So Much, Bert E. Evans, Almost blind now too but God is Not done with me Yet.

    I actually use a console for gaming plugged into a very large screen television, to read the Bible & do studys, online; because I also have visual difficulties. GOD makes a way, doesn't HE!

    James 1:5,

    This website version has a comparison tab. You can compare other translations of scripture. I find it useful when studying deeper understanding & trust the HOLY Spirit to guide me into all truth.

    Recently I've compared the KJV Standard on this website, to 1611 also on this site & The Jerusalem Bible 1970, when searching deeper. I also recommend an Exhaustive Concordance KJV, (best to get the translation you're most familiar with). It has every word written in the Bible for that translation. When I was newly learning to study the Bible I had NIV, & NIV Exhaustive Concordance. I then, went back to KJV but found the NIV Exhaustive Concordance, very difficult to use for finding scriptures, after becoming familiar with KJV.

    The Exhaustive Concordance has the word your searching for in alphabetical order like a dictionary, then it has the original words used with simple definition in those original languages, then lists each time that same exact word was used. I've even found them online.

    Hopefully this is useful

    This website has the 1611 version, I would think because it is together with this version it may be based closely to the 1611 version. There is a verse comparison on each verse, if you would like to compare. It compares multiple translations, including the KJV & 1611.

    Hopefully this is helpful.
