That's why God made the translation happen in the early 1600's.
Yet another reason to hold high the KJB.

Imagine the short-shelf-life for a "modern edition" of Billy Shakespeare (assuming you could get it published) ????
That's one thing bible believers are doing when we turn our noses up at the
modern versions. I read that Shakespeare was consulted on occasion with questions of english style during the 1611 work of translation. Imagine that's true. Wouldn't be fun to find out those passages were never tampered with because the great Shakespeare had consulted on them. Wouldn't it be fun to point out some of those passages to the modern bible corrector and then let them know (horror of horrors!) modern man has dared to correct the great
Shakespeare!!??
