“I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily” (1 Corinthians 15:31).

“I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily” (1 Corinthians 15:31). | The God Bless the USA Bible is based on
the King James version, which is considered to be the worst English Bible translation. I've seen it advertised as "easy to read."
The KJV is written in Middle English,
like Shakespeare, & is very hard for a
modern English speaker to comprehend. | image tagged in bible_kjv,donald j trump,confused confusing confusion,greedy,make money,disappointed jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Genesis 14:1-8 And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations; That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar....And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim...And they returned, and came to En-mishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites that dwelt in Hazezon-tamar. ;-)

This is factually incorrect. The KJV is written in Shakespearean English, which is an earlier form of Modern English. Middle English is what Geoffrey Chaucer spoke and wrote, and is considerably harder to read.

So you think that all my high school English teachers were lying?

If they told you KJV was in Middle English, they were tragically ignorant. Middle English is characterized by a much rougher, unblended in mix of Germanic and Romance words into the language. The Elizabethan/ Jacobean language you get in Shakespear and King James sometimes requires a glossary or explainer, but it doesn't need actual translation.
