Punctuation

I think the translators backfit the punctuation based on the syntax and inflection of the original language. So perhaps its semi inspired.

 

Would say once in a while its a shame they did a paragraph break, as the writer was still making/finishing up a point! paul tended to be long winded, so at times they 'cut him off!"

 

Do you mean the 1769?

None of the twenty or so more varying editions of the KJV in print today that I have been examining are 100% identical to the text of the 1769 Oxford edition of the KJV. There would be over 200 differences between the 1769 Oxford edition and any present KJV edition.

Concerning punctuation, the 1769 Oxford had the misplaced comma at Hebrews 10:12 that would change the interpretation of that verse. That comma was not changed back for around 200 years [from 1638 Cambridge until 1838 London edition].

other then the 1611 edition, which of these others seen as the 'real KJV" by those holding to KJVO?

 

If there could only be one English Bible then it should have been the 1560 Geneva.

 

Why not Tyndale's?

 

Tyndale's did not include the complete Old Testament.
