The bible contains complex language and themes that, misconstrued or misinterpreted, can have much different meanings. After all, lines like Luke 6:31 “do unto others, as you would have them do unto you” is much different than “do unto others, as they have done unto you”. With a simple misinterpreted word, we might have a drastically different idea of the fundamentals of social interaction. The most popular translation of the bible are the King James Versions, or KJV bibles.  This version was undertaken by the Church of England in 1611 under decree of King James I.  The KJV bible was then updated in the 1900s to resonate better with modern audiences, however the original version is still hailed as the most accurate translation.

There are various other translations of the bible that were undertaken for different reasons, but if you’re looking for the closest translation to the original Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, the King James Version is the best.
