Quotes from the Book

17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is 1vain; aye are yet in your sins.
my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know bthat your labour is not 1in vain in the Lord.
17Every man shall give as he is able, aaccording to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, bwho is even at the right hand of God, cwho also maketh intercession for us.
because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands,
14Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and aconsider the wondrous works of God. 15Dost thou know when God 1disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 16aDost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of bhim which is perfect in knowledge?
wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5Who hath 1laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the 2line upon it? 6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
aseek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
3But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
3Through faith we understand that athe 1worlds were 2framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which 3do appear.
ye, bstand fast in the faith, 1quit you like men, cbe strong.
33For God is not the author of 1confusion, but of peace, aas in all churches of the saints.
The antidote for error is not simply to pull back from wrong but also to be built up in what is right, especially through clinging to God in prayer.
THE afool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2aThe LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3aThey are all gone aside, they are all together become 1filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
I 1wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
cbut my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

About the book

The KJV Study Bible presents the full text of the King James Version—the Early Modern English translation of the Christian Bible commissioned in 1604 and first published in 1611 under the sponsorship of King James VI and I—paired with study apparatus for readers. Barbour Publishing's edition surrounds the traditional King James text with nearly 6,500 study notes, a combined dictionary and concordance, color maps of biblical lands, and introductions to each book of the Bible, with the words of Christ printed in red.

The underlying translation was the work of 47 scholars organized into companies at Westminster, Oxford, and Cambridge, and was printed by Robert Barker, the King's Printer, as a complete folio Bible in 1611. Commissioned at the Hampton Court Conference to serve the Church of England and Church of Scotland, it became known as the Authorized Version and has remained in continuous use for over four centuries. A study Bible builds on this text by adding editorial helps—notes, cross-references, headings, and reference tools—intended to aid personal reading, teaching, and small-group or Sunday-school preparation.

The King James Version is celebrated for its 'majesty of style' and has exerted more influence on English literature and Christian thought than any other English translation, shaping hymnody, liturgy, and even everyday idiom in the English-speaking world. A study edition such as this one keeps that historic text intact while layering on the interpretive and reference material that lets modern readers navigate and understand it. It functions less as a book to be read cover to cover than as a working reference for study and devotion.
