FICTITIOUS CONVERSATION WITH A JEHOVAH’S WITNESS: JOHN 1:1: Was the Word “God” or “a god”?

The correct translation of any text is important because it helps ensure that the reader understands the intended meaning of the text. In the case of John 1:1, this verse is particularly important because it presents a key belief of Christianity: that Jesus is the divine Word of God. Therefore, it is important that the translation of this verse accurately conveys this belief. Additionally, John 1:1 is often used in discussions and debates about the nature of Jesus and the relationship between Jesus and God. Therefore, it is important that the translation of this verse be accurate and precise in order to avoid misunderstandings or misrepresentations of this belief.

How Did the King James Version Come Down to Us?

The King James Bible (KJV) and the King James Bible (KJB), and the Authorized Version, is an English translation of the Christian Bible for the Church of England, commissioned in 1604 and published in 1611 by the sponsorship of King James VI and I. The 80 books of the King James Version include 39 books of the Old Testament, an intertestamental section containing 14 books of what Protestants consider the Apocrypha, and 27 books of the New Testament. Noted for its “majesty of style,” the King James Version has been described as one of the most important books in English culture and a driving force in the shaping of the English-speaking world.

List of New Testament Verses Not Included In Modern English Translations

These New Testament verses not included in modern English translations are verses of the New Testament that exist in older English translations (primarily the King James Version) but do not appear or have been relegated to footnotes in later versions, such as the Updated American Standard Version (UASV). Scholars have generally regarded these verses as later additions to the original text.

History of the Transmission of the New Testament Text

In the earliest days of the Christian church, after an apostolic letter was sent to a congregation or an individual, or after a gospel was written to meet the needs of a particular reading public, copies would be made in order to extend its influence and to enable others to profit from it as well. It was inevitable that such handwritten copies would contain a greater or lesser number of differences in wording from the original.
