Textus Receptus (Latin: "received text") is the name subsequently given to the succession of printed Greek texts of the New Testament which constituted the translation base for the original German Luther Bible, for the translation of the New Testament into English by William Tyndale, the King James Version, and for most other Reformation-era New Testament translations throughout Western and Central Europe. The phrase first appeared in the second addition of the "Texus receptus", where, in the introduction to the reader, it stated that it was "the text you have now recieved...", and so the latin phrase was condenced, and adopted as the title of the now infamous work.
