Why the King James Version?
Published in 1611, the KJV is the most influential English translation ever made. Its rhythms live inside the language itself — “the powers that be”, “a thorn in the flesh”, “the straight and narrow” all come from its pages.
Many readers keep the KJV for its literary beauty: the cadence of the Psalms and the Sermon on the Mount in King James English is unmatched, which is why it remains the translation most often quoted from memory.
The KJV is in the public domain, so we can share its full text here freely. If you prefer a modern rendering, the WEB translation on our main generator follows the same text with updated language.
