The Holy Bible

SKJVB - The Swedish KJV Bible is the Swedish Bible translation of the Holy Scriptures, the King James Version also known as the Authorised Version (AV 1611).
In the Swedish edition of the 1611 King James Version, its English language dress and tone is preserved and clarified by a matched use of punctuation. The Swedish KJV Bible therefore has a slightly older Swedish-language tone that faithfully follows the English King James Bible.

1611 AV - Swedish KJV Bible


"But when you read Scripture, read it with a sanctified and chaste ear: admire reverently those obscure passages which you do not understand, and blame only your own inability; read with delight the clear passages, and study carefully to understand those which are somewhat difficult; press on to become a good reader of the text, for Scripture is always the best interpreter of itself." 

King James I of England, Basilikon Doron (1599).
