List of books of the King James Version

From Textus Receptus

These are the books of the King James Version of the Bible along with the names and numbers given them in the Douay Rheims Bible and Latin Vulgate. This list is a complement to the list in Books of the Latin Vulgate. It is an aid to finding cross references between two longstanding standards of Biblical literature.

Notes

There are 80 books in the King James Bible—39 in the Old Testament, 14 in the Apocrypha (meaning 'hidden' or 'doubtful'), and 27 in the New Testament. Most modern editions omit the Apocrypha; in those editions the number of books totals 66. The reasons for the omission of the Apocrypha can be found in the article "Biblical canon". The names of those books found in the Apocrypha section of their respective versions are in italics.

In the Latin Vulgate, it is customary to separate chapter and verse with a comma, for example, "Ioannem 3,16". But in English bibles it is customary to separate chapter and verse with a colon, for example, "John 3:16".

The Psalms of the two versions are numbered differently. The Vulgate follows the Greek Septuagint numbering, while the King James Version follows the numbering of the Hebrew Masoretic Text. This generally results in the Psalms of the former being one number behind the latter. See the article on Psalms for more details.

Editions

Early editions of the King James Bible, made before the standardization of English spelling, contain variations in the spelling of the names of the books. The spellings shown here are from the Oxford World's Classics edition (ISBN 978-0199535941). Early editions often make greater use of the silent e in their spelling, e.g. "Deuteronomie" for Deuteronomy, "Booke" for book, and "Wisedom" for Wisdom.
