Word List for the King James Bible

Compiled by Timothy S. Morton

1629 kjv cambridge edition leather covers

The King James Bible is often criticized because some of the words found in it are words not in common use today. Though these words are relatively few in number and can be readily defined in any good dictionary, many new versions have been published in recent years claiming to “update” the AV’s language. Along with updating the language, however, the new “Bibles” make many other more serious changes. They omit or strongly question many verses; deny Jesus Christ’s deity, virgin birth, blood atonement, and ascension in several places and question or destroy many other precious truths. If one will compare the “archaic” KJV with any of the new translations, he will find the new versions are not updated “Bibles” at all; they are corrupted Bibles.

 

Of the 8000 different words found in the KJV, only 300 or so could be considered “archaic” or changed in their meaning; less than 4%. Furthermore, many of these words are only found once in the KJ text. There may be a few other words that some readers may not understand that are not archaic, but this is what dictionaries are for. Even in the corrupt new versions there are words many need to have defined. God has used the KJV more than He has used any other Bible in any language (including the originals!), thus it is not the place of man to change any of its words. Its text must be left as it stands.

Bible Commentaries (on-line and in print)

 

For anyone interested in serious Bible study, good commentaries can be very helpful.  They can point you to many verses related to a passage you are studying.  They can help you apply a Bible verse to your life.  They can also mislead you.  It is best to be very careful of which commentaries you use.  Not all commentators are “Reformed” and so they may have a wrong view of some very significant Bible doctrines, such as God’s sovereignty and man’s total depravity.  The following commentaries are pretty reliable, yet what they write is not inspired so keep that in mind as you utilize these Bible study aids.  Matthew Henry was reformed and his commentary has been popular for many years and reliable.  The best and most exhaustive commentary is probably John Gill’s Exposition of the Old and New Testaments. In print it is huge and expensive.  It can be found online for free and it also is available on CD.

 

To quote a pastor from Canada speaking about John Gill: “As a scholar of the Word, Gill has no equal today. For this reason his insights are still very often fresh and original. I have learned much from this mighty preacher, pastor and teacher! There have been times when I ended up disagreeing with a particular understanding of a verse or passage. But one had better have pretty good reasons to disagree with Gill since his grasp of the whole counsel of God was far superior to anyone I can think of living today.”.
