Still Gotta Love the KJV
photo credit: Paul L McCord Jr
I’ve recently purchased a King James version of the Bible. If you don’t know, it’s the version with all the ‘thee’ and ‘thou’ translation. Really great stuff, adds another element to reading the Bible. But for all it’s elegant speech, it does get a little silly sometimes:
“Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh.” John 11:39
If that’s not funny, I don’t know what is.

I agree, it’s pretty funny. It’s sort of like reading Chaucer in Middle English… sort of. Kind of.

Yep. It’s more fun for me to read the KJV than other translations. Not as great for study, but fun nonetheless.
