Which Version of the King James Bible?

The 1611, the very first translation; which included the Apocraphal Books, the Preface - note to the readers from the translators, and many marginal notes explaining areas where the translaters were unsure of a word.

1612

1616, The "She Bible".

1617

1629, The Apocraphal Books omited.

1631, The "Wicked Bible" because in Exodus 20:14, the 8th commandment, reads: You shall commit adultry.

1634

1638, Became the Standard until 1762.

1640

1653, The "Unrighteous Bible" because in 1 Corinthians 6:9 it reads: The unrighteous shall inherit the Kingdom of God.

1762, The Cambridge printing.

1769, The Oxford printing: Today, we either use this revision of 1769, or the 1762 revision done at Cambridge.

1873, The Paragraph Bible.

1881 - 1885, Revised. This, and all newer versions of the King James from this point on are from a different underlying text. They basically stopped using the old Textus Receptus.

1883, A reproduction of the original 1611 version. This idea didn't work because many of the changes over the years were very justified.
