Best Answer

The KJV is considered a good translation because it was the first mass published version of The Bible, (thanks to Gutenberg). This made it the first version to be used to spread the "gospel" around the world.

What is the translation of the bible in the King James version for protestants?

I don't understand what the question is supposed to mean. James himself was, as required by English law, Protestant, and the translation that came to be known by his name was intended for use by the Church of England (and, I suppose, the Scottish kirk... also not Roman Catholic... as well) so the phrase "King James Version for Protestants" is somewhat redundant. Also, the "King James Version" is a particular translation; so "what is the translation in the King James Version" is a question that essentially answers itself.
