THE MAJORITY TEXT

The majority text are the majority of the extant Greek manuscripts used in the making of Textus Receptus (Text Received) that the King James Bible is translated from. There use to be only one majority text. Now there is another. Later found manuscripts have also been added to this group. One must be careful when he reads "majority text" to know which one they are referring to. For instance, some of the "new versions" state they come from the majority text. Well, this is true. They are not speaking of the same text that the KJB came from, although they use the majority text that it came from in their majority text -- got that! What they have done is add corrupt texts with it known as the Alexandrian text. The "new version" translators often go to the Alexandrian text in fabricating their counterfeit Bibles. As always, you are better off reading the words of God found in the King James Bible. Click here and read what God says:

The words of the LORD are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth,
purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O LORD,
thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
(Psalm 12:6-7)

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved!

WHEREFORE COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM,
AND BE YE SEPARATE SAITH THE LORD,
AND TOUCH NOT THE UNCLEAN THING
(2 Corinthians 6:17)
