"The King James Bible (KJV), it is one of the most influential English translations of the Bible, first published in 1611 under the sponsorship of King James I of England. Commissioned to unify religious factions within the Church of England, the KJV was translated by a team of 47 scholars using earlier English versions, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin manuscripts. The translation is renowned for its majestic prose, poetic rhythm, and literary elegance, making it one of the most widely used and revered English Bible translations for centuries. The King James Bible has had a profound impact on English literature, culture, and religious practices. It played a key role in shaping the English language, influencing writers such as John Milton, William Blake, and even modern authors. Despite later revisions and the emergence of contemporary translations, the KJV remains popular among Protestant denominations and traditionalist Christians who appreciate its historic and theological significance. Its enduring legacy ensures that it continues to be read, studied, and quoted worldwide."
