King James Version (KJV)

The King James Version of the Holy Bible was published in 1611 under King James I of England. Considered one of the most important and influential texts in the English language, it remains popular for its heritage, traditional language, and poetic style.

Some readers find the KJV text challenging to read and understand due to its historicity. Most other translations, including the ESV, NKJV, NIV, and NASB, render the text in modern English.
