			==King James Version==
			Although no friend of the King James Version of the Bible, they had this to say about the "revisions" of the King James Bible. The American Bible Society wrote;

			:"The English Bible, as left by the translators (of 1611), has come down to us unaltered in respect to its text..."

			They further stated;

			:"With the exception of typographical errors and changes required by the progress of orthography in the English language, the text of our present Bibles remains unchanged, and without variation from the original copy as left by the translators."

			(Committee on Versions to the Board of Managers, American Bible Society, 1852).
