What’s The Difference Between 1611 And 1612 KJV Bible?
The primary difference between the 1611 and 1612 King James Version Bibles is the typeface style, with the 1611 edition printed in Gothic (Black Letter) type and the 1612 edition being the first to use Roman type. This change was made because the Gothic script, which resembled medieval manuscript lettering, was becoming difficult for modern readers to understand, while Roman type was already popular in England.
While the 1612 edition standardized the font, the text itself remained largely unchanged from the 1611 original, as the 1612 printing was simply a reprint rather than a textual revision. The 1611 edition also featured irregular spelling, inconsistent capitalization, and a lack of consistent italicization for words not found in the source Greek text, whereas later editions (specifically the 1769 Oxford revision) would later standardize these features.
Key Distinctions
- Typography: 1611 used Gothic/Black Letter type; 1612 introduced Roman type.
- Textual Content: Both editions shared the same underlying translation text; the 1612 version did not alter the biblical content, only the visual presentation.
- Readability: The shift to Roman type in 1612 was intended to make the Bible more accessible to contemporary readers who struggled with the archaic Gothic script.
- Spelling and Punctuation: The 1611 edition displayed inconsistent spelling and punctuation influenced by space constraints, a feature that persisted in the 1612 edition until further standardization occurred in later centuries.
What Does The KJV Bible Say?
The differences between the first edition (1611) and the second edition (1612) of the King James Version (KJV) Bible are almost entirely typographical and stylistic, often referred to as “errata” (corrections of errors) rather than new translations. These early printings, both featuring “Black Letter” (Gothic) type, were aimed at perfecting the print quality and fixing errors in the hastily produced original 1611 release.
Difference Table: 1611 vs. 1612 KJV
| Feature | 1611 Edition | 1612 Edition |
|---|---|---|
| Common Name | “He” Bible (Ruth 3:15) | “She” Bible / 2nd Edition |
| Typeface | Gothic/Black Letter | Gothic/Black Letter (Revised) |
| Orthography (Spelling) | Archaic (e.g., sinne, feare) | Some spelling standardization |
| Typographical Errors | Over 350+ identified | Many 1611 errors corrected |
| Letter ‘v’ & ‘u’ | Often interchangeable (vnited) | Updated to standard usage |
| Marginal Notes | Many missing or misplaced | Increased accuracy/inclusion |
| Italics | Used, but sometimes inconsistently | Improved consistency |
10 Examples of Differences (1611 vs. Early Editions)
Note: The 1611 text was so flawed that many corrections spanned from 1611 to 1638. These examples reflect the transition from the “original” to the slightly improved 1612+ text.
- Ruth 3:15: 1611 reads “…and he went into the citie” (He Bible). Later editions say “…and she went…” (She Bible).
- Exodus 14:10: 1611 has a missing line due to a printing mistake.
- Leviticus 11:3: 1611 “cheweth cud” is changed to “cheweth the cud”.
- Ruth 3:13: 1611 text contains misspelled words or poor spacing.
- 1 Cor 15:1-7: 1611 has a verse numbering error (1,2,3,4,5,5,7).
- Spelling: Sinne (1611) becomes Sin (1612/later).
- Spelling: Eies (1611) becomes Eyes (1612/later).
- Typeface/v/u: Vnrighteous (1611) becomes Unrighteous (1612/later).
- Typeface/i/j: Ioy (1611) becomes Joy (1612/later).
- Typo: Matthew 26:34 “might” (1611) corrected to “night”.
SWOT Analysis: 1611/1612 KJV Transition
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|
| • Sets the foundation for the “Authorized” text. • High-quality translation from original languages. • Retains the “Translator’s Notes” and original layout. • The 1612 corrects over 350+ major 1611 errors. | • 1611 was riddled with 350+ printing errors. • Extremely difficult “Black Letter” Gothic font. • No standardized spelling, making it hard to read. • 1612 still contained many lingering errors. |
| Opportunities | Threats |
| • Established the KJV as the standard Bible for centuries. • Allowed for the transition from Gothic to cleaner Roman font (later). • Showed the necessity of “purifying” the text through repeated printings. | • The sheer amount of errors in 1611/1612 could hurt credibility. • Competed with the already established Geneva Bible. • Early revisions could cause confusion for congregations. |
Note: The KJV Bible many people read today is not the 1611 or 1612 version, but typically the 1769 Oxford revision, which standardized spelling, punctuation, and updated italics.

This is a major important point about forgiveness
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. -MATTHEW 5:24 KJV
Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?
I would start out by saying what Jesus Christ would want us to do? Pray and how should we pray? The Lord’s Prayer, and how often should we pray? Continually. Why do we use the Lord’s Prayer and not some other? The Lord’s Prayer covers all the areas that is important for our spiritual being.
When we pray the Lords prayer we ask to forgive our enemies, let God’s will be done, the kingdom to come. By praying the Lord’s prayer we let go of many thoughts we have in our head and give them back to God so we can have things revealed to us.
We must overcome resentment in our heart, and in a past video I shared about Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about how resentment can destroy us and we become our own very worst enemy and Jordan goes on to say that we must talk to people what we have resentment toward to overcome that resentment. Other people who lived in the past who talked about this is Jesus Christ and someone who is living now who talks about this daily is Brother Augustine, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. Charles Stanley, Rev. John Piper and Pastor Paul Washer.
Women are looking for a fathers love
Women are looking for a fathers love. Its important that men understand women are looking for a fathers love and not get screwed. Woman more than anything are looking for a strong spiritual man to lead the future (the family). I think in many YouTube videos on biblical teachings, how young women are being hurt by men that are just looking to get laid instead of doing right and being in Christ and setting a good example of a strong man. We must be in Christ, hate no one, love all, forgave theses we resent, love what is right and support people who are walking with God.
Women need their fathers in their lives to be strong man to be good examples and not BETA men or weak examples of what a man should be. Its important that a man leads the way as Christ leads men, we as man need to fellow Jesus Christ to keep society from going to HELL.
Every day you can see or people watch how some men and women our living in hell without the right spiritual order then you will continue your hellish way according to 2 Peter. You can also find it in Romans. God will give you over to a reprobate mind.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. – Romans 1:28 (KJV)
In Romans 1, Paul refers to something known as a reprobate mind. If you’re not familiar with the term reprobate, the literal definition in the Greek is failing to pass the test, unapproved, counterfeit.
Spiritual Order – In The Family and Church
God the father
Jesus Christ
Father (Men over women)
Mother (Women over children)
Here is Book, Chapter and Verse from the Kings James Version 1 Corinthian 11:2-16, But the main message is in 1 Corinthian 11:3: “3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”

How God Commands Us To Forgive Those Who We Have Resentment Toward.
All of us are tested everyday by our personal internal struggle coming from resentment of what happened earlier in our lives as children typically what our mother did to us, telling how our fathers were not good enough or driving us away from our fathers when we were children. We most go to the people that we have resentment against and forgive them. By forgiving our mothers or whoever we have resentment against, God will forgive us and we can return to the heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It was said if you don’t love everyone then you love no one. People today live like the Old Testament people did. We must forgive and love everyone as God Commanded us to do according to Matthew 22:34-40.
After Reading The Passage I would Recommend Doing A Silent Prayer
Its is said: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 King James Version (KJV)

In a world where it is so easy to forget the importance of God, we must remember that He is holy and will not share His glory. America has forgotten this truth and it is time for us to re-examine our relationship with God and recognize that He is the one true God who deserves our full devotion and reverence. We must remember that He will not be taken lightly or ignored, but rather should be honored as the Creator of all things. Only then can we truly experience His love and grace in our lives.
