The King James version of The Bible is considered to be the nearest translation of the original records. Though not complete as many books have not been included in this translation, it none the less contains all that is required for man to receive his salvation. One has also to take note of the beauty of its wording. Modern translation lack this so are read just as one would read an ordinary book

Is the KJV the correct version of the Bible?

The King James Version (KJV) is the 'correct' version if it is the version mandated or recommended by your denomination. It is not a particularly accurate version. Not only does it inherit many of the mistranslations historically taken from the Septuagint (an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible), it adds some inadvertent translation errors of its own. The authorised version of the KJV contains many passages that include italicised words. These are intended to show where the translators intentionally did not follow the original, or where the original was not sufficently clear for them to be certain of the meaning.
