The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, completed in 1611, is one of the most widely read and influential English translations of the Bible. Commissioned by King James I of England, it was produced by a group of scholars and translators who aimed to create a Bible accessible to English-speaking Christians while maintaining the poetic and majestic style of the original texts. Revered for its literary beauty, the KJV has had a profound impact on English language and culture, though modern readers may find its archaic language challenging.
