Proverbs 27:14 (KJV1611 Edition):
He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice,
rising earely in the morning,
it shall be counted a curse to him.

Good morning everybody!!!

Proverbs 18:10 (KJV1611 Edition):
The name of the Lord is a a strong tower:
the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Proverbs 18:10 (Geneva Bible 1587):
The Name of the Lord is a strong tower:
the righteous runneth vnto it, and is exalted.

Proverbs 18:10 (HCSB = Christian Standard Bible /Holman, 2003/ ):
The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
the righteous run to it and are protected.

Even the accursed NIV (Nasty Infidel's Version ) says:

Proverbs 18:10 (NIV):
The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
the righteous run to it and are safe.

Gal 6:2, 5 (KJV1611 Edition)
Gal 6:2 Beare ye one anothers burthens, and so fulfill the Law of Christ.
...
Gal 6:5 For euery man shall beare his owne burthen.

In the KJV this appears to be a contradiction:
bear one another's burdens AND don't bear one another's burdens.
But it is not the same Greek word for the two different
kinds of 'burden's

Galations 6:2,5 (HCSB = Christian Standard Bible /Holman, 2003/ ):
2 Carry one another's burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
...
5 For each person will have to carry his own load.

Here in a modern language version it is quite clear:

We are to help one another bear the burdens
that are impossible for them to bear alone
but we are each to take care of our own load (responsibilites).

Genesis 8:13 (KJV1611 Edition):
And it came to passe in the sixe hundredth and one yeere,
in the first moneth, the first day of the moneth,
the waters were dryed vp from off the earth:
and Noah remooued the couering of the Arke,
and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was drie.

Genesis 8:13 (KJV1611 Edition):
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year,
in the first month, the first day of the month,
the waters were dried up from off the earth:
and Noah removed the covering of the ark,
and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.

This 'spelling correction' corrects the 'O-N-E' mispelling
in the KJV1611 Edition with a spelling of 'F-I-R-S-T' in the
KJV1769 Edition. Or is it a grammar correction?
The proper English reading in 21st Century English (2001-2100)
and apparenly in 18th Century (1701-1800) is 'first'.

Here is a similiar reading in the Geneva Bible of 1587:
Gen 8:13 (Geneva Bible):
And in the sixe hundreth and one yeere,
in the first day of the first moneth
the waters were dryed vp from off the earth:
and Noah remoued the couering of the Arke
and looked, and beholde, the vpper part of the ground was drie.

Proverbs 13:24 (KJV1611 Edition):
He that spareth his rod, hateth his sonne:
but he that loueth him, chasteneth him betimes.

But today, in a Modern Version KJV:

Proverbs 13:24 (KJV1769 Edition by
e-Sword with Strong's numbers):
He that spareth2820 his rod7626 hateth8130 his son:1121
but he that loveth157 him chasteneth4148 him quickly.7836

Proverbs 13:24 (KJV1769 Edition by Crosswalk.com)
He that spareth his rod hateth his son:
but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Humm, the KJVs done gone varying again?

BTW, that rod is the same rod that comforts
us in Psalm 23???

 

[Ed Edwards]

Ephesians 6:5-6 (KJV1611 Edition):
Seruants, 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 Not with eye seruice as men pleasers,
but as the seruants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart:

1 John 3:17 (KJV1611 Edition):
But who so hath this worlds good,
and seeth his brother hath need,
and shutteth vp his bowels of compassion from him;
how dwelleth the loue of God in him?

 

[Ed Edwards]

Hebrews 9:28 (KJV1611 Edition):
So Christ
was once offered to beare the sinnes
of many, & vnto them that looke for him
shall hee appeare the second time
without sinne,
vnto saluation.
[FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]Hebrews 9:28 HCSB = Christian Standard Bible /Holman, 2003/ )[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Geneva, Helvetica]:
so also the Messiah,
having been offered once to bear the sins
of many, will appear a second time,
not to bear sin,
but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.

1 Esdras V:7 (KJV1611 Edition):

And the Sodomitish sea shall cast
out fish, and make a noyose in the night,
which many haue not known : but
they shall all heare the voice thereof.

I don't recall the Dead Sea ever groaning???

 

[Ed Edwards]

I love this passage, A-mills who believe in
a physical Second Coming of Christ (as opposed
to a 'spiritual' Second Coming only) should
love this, as it is what they believe?
Strange, Eschatology from the Apocrypha???

2 Esdras VII:43 :
But the day of doome shall be
the end of this time, and the beginning
of the immortality for to come,
wherein corruption is past.

Psalm 25:4 (KJV1611 Edition):
Shewe mee thy wayes, O Lord:
teach me thy pathes.

Psalms 25:4 (NIV = New International Version)
Show me your ways, O Lord,
teach me your paths;

No differences save:
spelling & punctuation.

Luke 21:36 (KJV1611 Edition):
Watch ye therefore, and pray alwayes,
that ye may be accompted worthy to escape
all these things that shall come to passe,
and to stand before the sonne of man.

Luke 21:36 (KJV1769 Edition):
Watch ye therefore, and pray always,
that ye may be accounted worthy to escape
all these things that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man.

Sorry, not just a spelling or punctuation correction.

Ecclesiastes 8:17 (KJV1611 Edition):
Then I behelde all the worke of God,
that a man cannot finde out the worke
that is done vnder the Sunne:
because though a man labour to seeke it out,
-----
yea further though a wise man thinke to know it,
yet shall hee not be able to finde it.


Ecclesiastes 8:17 (KJV1769 Edition, AKA: Authorized Version/AV/ )
Then I beheld all the work of God,
that a man cannot find out the work
that is done under the sun:
because though a man labour to seek it out,
yet he shall not find it;
yea further; though a wise man think to know it,
yet shall he not be able to find it.

Here is an interesting collection of verses in the Old Testament
containing 'wist' in the KJV1611 Edition but 'know' in the KJV1769
Edition:

(Exo 16:15)
And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another,
It is Manna: for they wist not what it was.
And Moses said vnto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath giuen you to eate.

(Exo 34:29)
And it came to passe when Moses came downe from mount Sinai
(with the two Tables of Testimony in Moses hand,
when hee came downe from the mount)
that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone, while he talked with him.

(Lev 5:17)
And if a soule sinne, and commit any of these things which
are forbidden to be done by the commaundements of the Lord,
though he wist it not, yet is hee guiltie, and shall beare his iniquitie.

(Lev 5:18)
And he shall bring a ramme without blemish out of the flocke,
with thy estimation, for a trespasse offering vnto the Priest:
and the Priest shall make an atonement for him
concerning his ignorance wherein he erred,
and wist it not: and it shall be forgiuen him.

(Jos 2:4)
And the woman tooke the two men, and hid them, & said thus:
There came men vnto mee, but I wist not whence they were:

(Jos 8:14)
And it came to passe when the King of Ai saw it,
that they hasted, and rose vp early, and the men
of the citie went out against Israel to battell, hee,
and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plaine,
but hee wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.

(Jdg 16:20)
And she said, The Philistines be vpon thee, Samson.
And hee awoke out of his sleepe, and said,
I will go out as at other times before, and shake my selfe.
And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him.


The root word for 'wist' and the root word for 'know' compted
through Old English and Middle English. In Modern English,
'know' has won the competition. The language being spoken
by the translators of the KJV was Modern English: you
know the one with the alphabet:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
(not Middle English with the alphabet:
ABCDEFGHIKLMNOPQRSTVUWXYZ)

How about these (all from the original KJV1611):

KJV1611, Mt 1:11 "Iosias begate Iechonias"; footnote,
"Some read, Iosias begate Iakim, and Iakim begate Iechonias"

KJV1611, Mt 26:26 "and blessed it";
footnote, "Many Greeke copies haue, gave thanks"

KJV1611, Lk 10:22 "All things";
footnote, "Many ancient copies adde these words,
And turning to his Disciples he said."

KJV1611, Luke 17:36,
footnote: "This 36. verse is wanting in most of the Greek copies."

KJV1611, Ac 13:18 "suffered he their manners";
footnote, "Gr ETROPOFORRHSEN, perhaps, for ETROFOFORHSEN, as a nurse beareth or feedeth her childe, Deut 1.31, 2 macc 7.27. according to the Sept[uagint] and so Chrysost[om]"

KJV1611, Ac 25:6 "more then ten dayes";
footnote, "Or, as some copies reade, no more than eight or ten dayes"

KJV1611, 1Co 15:31 "your reioycing";
footnote, "Some read, our"

KJV1611, 1Cor 15:55 "O grave";
footnote, "Or, hell"

KJV1611, Eph 6:9 "that your master";

KJV1611, 1Pet 2:21 "suffered for us";
footnote: Some reade, for you"

KJV1611, 2Pet 2:2 "pernicious wayes";

Yea, hath God said?

Hebrews 13:21 (KJV1611, the Original Version)
Make you perfect in euery good worke
to doe his will, ||working in you that which
is well pleasing in his sight, through Iesus Christ,
to whom be glorie for euer and euer. Amen.

Sidenote: || working: or, doing


Hebrews 13:21 (KJV1769 Edition, the 'Authorized Version')
Make you perfect in every good work
to do his will, working in you that which
is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ;
to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.


Hebrews 13:21 (HCSB = Christian Standard Bible /Holman, 2003/ ):
equip* you with all that is good
to do His will, working in us what
is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ,
to whom be glory forever and ever||. Amen.

Fotnotes:
*13:21 or perfect
|| other mss omit and ever

The big one here isn't even a textual variation.
"Prefect" the noun existed in 1611 meaning
to make whole or complete. The phrase 'Make ... Perfect'
makes a verb out of the noun 'perfect'.
In 2003 there is a verb 'perfect' (pronounced different
from the verb, BTW) which means 'to make perfect' that is
without flaw.

So this prayer in Hebrews is that God will
GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED to do good works.
The prayer in Hebrews is NOT that the Lord
will make you without flaws because of your good works.

Wisdom 7:2 (KJV1611 Edition):
And in my mothers wombe was fashioned to be flesh
in the time of tenne moneths
being compacted in blood, of the seed of man,
and the pleasure that came with sleepe.

Oh, I thought it was generally NINE months?
(the rest of the description is fairly good though)

Maybe the writer was one of those babies who come "late."

[Ed Edwards]

Phi 2:12 (KJV1611 Edition):
Wherefore, my beloued, as yee haue alwayes obeyed,
not as in my presence onely, but now much more
in my absence; worke out your owne saluation
with feare, and trembling.

The meaning of 'fear' here determines your look
on salvation.

If you think wrong that
'fear' means 'scared of God', you will have
a works based salvation. BTW, if 'fear' means
'scared, then why add 'trembling' which also
means 'scared'?

If you think correclty that 'fear' means
'respect for God' then you understand that
salvation is to Good works, not by Good works

'Fear' as used in the
New Testament has the meaning of 'to respect'
NOT 'to be afraid'. Only doctrines based
upon the highest respect of the Godhead
and the three persons of the Godhead:
God the Father, God the Son (Messiah Jesus),
and God the Holy Spirit; only these doctrines
have validity.

To base one's doctrine of Security of
Salvation on being afraid of God cause He
may revoke His salvation - this is an error
in doctrine, based on a misunderstanding of
a greek term (various forms of 'phebo')
as translated in the KJV.

Caveat: Some MVs translate 'phebo' as 'fear'
some don't. However, this is NOT a
KJV versus MV problem but rather a problem
in understanding the KJV.

Luke 21:36 (KJV1611 Edition):
Watch ye therefore, and pray alwayes,
that ye may be accompted worthy to escape
all these things that shall come to passe,
and to stand before the sonne of man.

accompted isn't in the Webster's 1828 Dictionary,
so I have no idea what it means or meant

The King James Version (Authorized)
Luke 21:36 (Authorized KJV1679 Edition):
Watch ye therefore, and pray always,
that ye may be accounted worthy to escape
all these things that shall come to pass,
and to stand before the Son of man.

Here 'ye may be accounted worthy' is a translation of the Greek term:
'kataxioo'. So you can see it take five English words to say
what the Greek says in one word.
The current meaning of 'account' is to compute or figure or
justify. So this verse really isn't talking about being worthy
to escape nor being worthy to stand before the Son of Man
(Messiah Jesus). It is talking about God considering us
worthy because all He sees is the blood of Jesus shed for
us and NOT US.
