	The English terms "rejoice" and "glory" stand for the same word in the Greek original. In Tyndale, ''Geneva'' and the ''Bishops' Bibles'', both instances are translated "rejoice". In the ''[[Douay-Rheims Bible\|Douay-Rheims]]'' New Testament, both are translated "glory". Only in the ''Authorized Version'' does the translation vary between the two verses. This reveals the lack of understanding of pseudo scholars like [[Frederick Fyvie Bruce\|F.F Bruce]], who would have translations without any literary style.

	In obedience to their instructions, the translators provided no marginal interpretation of the text, but in some 8,500 places a marginal note offers an alternative English wording. The majority of these notes offer a more literal rendering of the original (introduced as "Heb", "Chal", "Gr" or "Lat"), but others indicate a variant reading of the source text (introduced by "or"). Some of the annotated variants derive from alternative editions in the original languages, or from variant forms quoted in the [[patristics\|~~fathers~~]]. More commonly, though, they indicate a difference between the original language reading and that in the translators' preferred recent Latin versions: [[Immanuel Tremellius\|Tremellius]] for the Old Testament, [[Franciscus Junius (the elder)\|Junius]] for the Apocrypha, and [[Theodore Beza\|Beza]] for the New Testament. A few more extensive notes clarify Biblical names, units of measurement or currency, and in a very few places (e.g. Luke 17:36) record that a verse is absent from most Greek manuscripts. Modern reprintings rarely reproduce these annotated variants - although they are to be found in the [[New Cambridge Paragraph Bible]]. In addition, there were originally some 9,000 scriptural cross-references, in which one text was related to another. Such cross-references had long been common in Latin Bibles, and most of those in the ''Authorized Version'' were copied unaltered from this Latin tradition. Consequently the early editions of the KJV retain many Vulgate verse references - e.g. in the numbering of the [[Psalms]].

	In the Old testament the translators render the [[Tetragrammaton]] ~~YHWH~~ by "the LORD" (in later editions in [[small capitals]] as LORD), or "the LORD God" (for ''Adonai ~~YHWH~~'', "Lord ~~YHWH~~"), and in four places by "[[Jehovah\|IEHOVAH]]" (Exod. 6:3, Psalm 83:18, Isaiah 12:2 and 26:4).

	For their New Testament, the translators chiefly used the [[1598 AD\|1598]] which was very similar to ~~the~~ 1588/89 Greek ~~edition of [[Theodore Beza]]~~, which also present Beza's Latin version of the Greek and [[Robert Estienne\|Stephanus]]'s edition of the Latin Vulgate. As the translators compared all available [[Greek]] versions, the translators conducted all discussions amongst themselves in Latin. F.H.A. [[Scrivener]] identifies [[191_Variations_in_Scrivener’s_1881_Greek_New_Testament_from_Beza%27s_1598_Textus_Receptus\|191 readings where the ''Authorized Version'' translators depart from Beza's Greek text]], generally in maintaining the wording of the ''[[Bishop's Bible]]'' and other earlier English translations. In about half of these instances, [[Scrivener]] claimed that the ''Authorized Version'' translators appear to follow the earlier [[1550 AD\|1550]] [[Greek]] [[Textus Receptus]] of [[Robert Estienne\|Stephanus]]. For the other half, [[Scrivener]] was usually able to find corresponding [[Greek]] readings in the editions of [[Erasmus]], or in the [[Complutensian Polyglot]]. However, in several dozen readings he notes that no printed [[Greek]] text corresponds to the [[English]] of the ''Authorized Version'', which in these places he claims derives directly from the Vulgate. ~~For~~ example, at [[John 10:16]], the Authorized Version reads "one fold" (as did the ''Bishops' Bible'', and the 16th century vernacular versions produced in Geneva), following the [[Latin Vulgate]] "unum ovile", whereas [[William Tyndale\|Tyndale]] had agreed more closely with the [[Greek]], "one flocke" (μία ποίμνη). ~~Critics of the [[Textus Receptus]] accept the 191 departures as fact~~, ~~including many King James Onlyists, who will claim that~~ the ~~''Authorized Version'' [[New Testament]] owes much more to the [[~~Vulgate~~]] than does the [[Old Testament]]; still, at~~ least 80% of the text is unaltered from Tyndale's translation.		For their New Testament, the translators chiefly used the [[1598 AD\|1598]] of [[Theodore Beza]], which was very similar to his 1588/89 Greek editions, which also present Beza's Latin version of the Greek and [[Robert Estienne\|Stephanus]]'s edition of the Latin Vulgate.

One example he uses, at [[John 10:16]], the Authorized Version reads "one fold" (as did the ''Bishops' Bible'', and the 16th century vernacular versions produced in Geneva), following the [[Latin Vulgate]] "unum ovile", whereas [[William Tyndale\|Tyndale]] had agreed more closely with the [[Greek]], "one flocke" (μία ποίμνη). But this is clearly to do with English word choices, and not following the Vulgate. At least 80% of the text is unaltered from Tyndale's translation. The Vulgate concept also ignores the renaissance style revival of Greek and Latin words that entered into the English language at that time.
