The Byzantine text-type was used for the 16th century Textus Receptus, the first Greek-language version of the New Testament to be printed by the printing press.

The Textus Receptus, in turn, was used for the New Testament found in the English-language King James Bible.

* προς Ρωμαιους εγραφη απο Κορινθου δια Φοιβης της διακονου της εν Κεγχρεαις εκκλησιας (" to the Romans it was written from Corinth by Phoebus the deacon of the church in Cenchreae "): 101, 241, 460, 466, 469, 602, 603, 605, 618, 1923, 1924, 1927, 1932, followed by Textus Receptus.

Subsequent versions of Erasmus's Greek New Testament became known as the Textus Receptus.

* Novum Instrumentum omne, the first modern and critical version of the Greek New Testament, part of what is now known as the Textus Receptus.

Bart Ehrman suggests in his book Misquoting Jesus that the King James Version would not have included the passage if Desiderius Erasmus had not given in to pressure to include it in the Textus Receptus even though he doubted its authenticity.

Most of these translations relied ( though not always exclusively ) upon one of the printed editions of the Greek New Testament edited by Erasmus, a form of this Greek text emerged as the standard and is known as the Textus Receptus.

Unlike the Textus Receptus, these have a pronounced Alexandrian character.

The only possible exceptions to this are the Great Commission Matthew 28: 16-20, 2 Corinthians 13: 14, and the Comma Johanneum, which many regard as a spurious text passage in First John ( 1 John 5: 7 ) known primarily from the King James Version and some versions of the Textus Receptus but not included in modern critical texts ..

3rd Textus Receptus.

* The third edition of the Textus Receptus of the Bible is published.

Erasmus compiled and edited Greek Scriptures into the Textus Receptus — ironically, to improve upon the Latin Vulgate — following the Renaissance-fueling Fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the dispersion of Greek-speaking intellectuals and texts into a Europe which previously had access to none.

* Textus Receptus

In the 16th century, the printer and scholar Robert Estienne ( also known as Stephanus in Latin and Stephens in English ) used it to mark differences in the words or passages between different printed versions of the Greek New Testament ( Textus Receptus ).

It was at that point that scholars realised the text differed significantly from the Vulgate and the Textus Receptus.

While considerably varying, it also underlies the Textus Receptus Greek text used for most Reformation-era translations of the New Testament into vernacular languages.

In Finland, the Bible version used by Laestadians is the Finnish Bible of 1776 which, unlike newer translations, is based on the Textus Receptus.

American and Canadian Laestadianism uses the King James Version, based as well on the Textus Receptus.

* " What did John William Burgon really believe about the Textus Receptus and the King James Version?

* Textus Receptus

Lachmann was the first major editor to break from the Textus Receptus, seeking to restore the most ancient reading current in manuscripts of the Alexandrian text-type, using the agreement of the Western authorities ( Old Latin and Greek Western Uncials ) as the main proof of antiquity of a reading where the oldest Alexandrian authorities differ.

Erasmus adjusted the text in many places to correspond with readings found in the Vulgate, or as quoted in the Church Fathers ; consequently, although the Textus Receptus is classified by scholars as a late Byzantine text, it differs in nearly two thousand readings from the standard form of that text-type, as represented by the " Majority Text " of Hodges and Farstad ( Wallace 1989 ).

The origin of the term Textus Receptus comes from the publisher's preface to the 1633 edition produced by Bonaventure and his nephew Abraham Elzevir who were partners in a printing business at Leiden.

Frederick von Nolan, a 19th century historian and Greek and Latin scholar, spent 28 years attempting to trace the Textus Receptus to apostolic origins.

The Greek text of this edition and of those of Erasmus became known as the Textus Receptus ( Latin for " received text "), a name given to it in the Elzevier edition of 1633, which termed it as the text nunc ab omnibus receptum (" now received by all ").

Erasmus omitted them from his first edition ; but when a storm of protest arose because the omission seemed to threaten the doctrine of the Trinity, he put them back in the third and later editions, whence they also came into the Textus Receptus, ' the received text '.

* The Textus Receptus, the Greek Bible as received in England.

He claimed that the autographs of the New Testament were identical to the Textus Receptus, and that the text had never been corrupted.

The majority of textual critical scholars since the late 19th Century, have adopted an eclectic approach to the Greek New Testament ; with the most weight given to the earliest extant manuscripts which tend mainly to be Alexandrian in character ; the resulting eclectic Greek text departing from the Textus Receptus in around 6, 000 readings.

No school of textual criticism now continues to defend the priority of the Textus Receptus ; although this position does still find adherents amongst the King-James-Only Movement, and other Protestant groups opposed to the discipline of text criticism — as applied to scripture.

However, both Burgon and Miller believed that, although the Textus Receptus was to be preferred to the Alexandrian Text, nevertheless it still required to be corrected in certain readings against the manuscript tradition of the Byzantine text.

Hills argues that the principle of providentially preserved transmission guarantees that the printed Textus Receptus must be the closest text to the Greek autographs ; and consequently he rejects readings in the majority Byzantine text where these are not maintained in the Textus Receptus.

Hence the true text is found not only in the text of the majority of the New Testament manuscripts but more especially in the Textus Receptus and in faithful translations of the Textus Receptus, such as the King James Version.

In short, the Textus Receptus represents the God-guided revision of the majority text.

The Textus Receptus was established on a basis of the Byzantine text-type, also called ' Majority text ', and usually is identified with it by its followers.

But the Textus Receptus has some additions and variants which did not exist in the Byzantine text before the 16th century.

The New King James Version also uses the Textus Receptus (" Received Text ") for the New Testament, just as the original King James Version had used.

In the Textus Receptus, the shortest verse is (" παντοτε χαιρετε ", " Rejoice always ") with fourteen letters, since Stephanus ' rendering of Luke 20: 30 includes some additional words.

For Hills, the task of biblical scholarship is to identify the particular line of preserved transmission through which God is acting ; a line which he sees in the specific succession of manuscript copying, textual correction and printing, which culminated in the Textus Receptus and the King James Bible.

However, King James Version ( KJV )- only inerrantists often prefer the traditional texts ( i. e., Textus Receptus which is the basis of KJV ) used in their churches to modern attempts of reconstruction ( i. e., Nestle-Aland Greek Text which is the basis of modern translations ), arguing that the Holy Spirit is just as active in the preservation of the scriptures as in their creation.

The Domesday spelling is the only historical record ; all other spellings – in the later ( c. 1100 ) Domesday Monarchorum and in Textus Roffensis the town is Gravesend / Gravesende.

* Variant readings or interpretations of certain debatable passages, or possible conjectural emendations ( i. e. alterations based on an philological expert's " educated guess " of the likely form of the original Hebrew or Greek when the translators feel this is not sufficiently clear " the NRSV and NJB are loaded with conjectural emendations to remove or tone down Messianic prophecies | Messianic prophecy and to remove gender neutral language | gendered language and passages that clash with modern Western culture | Western political correctness | sensibilities ", possible translations from other ancient versions such as the Septuagint, Targumim, Peshitta and Vulgate, readings from other manuscript families, such as marking those passages missing which are present in the Byzantine text-type in a modern textual eclectic translation, or marking those passages present which are missing in the Alexandrian text-type and the modern critical text in a translation from the Textus Receptus or Byzantine text-type, etc.

It is an anthology by authors such as Robert Dick Wilson ( 1856 – 1930 ), Zane Clark Hodges ( 1932 – 2008 ) and others, who distinctly reject the " Textus Receptus only " / " KJV-Only " viewpoint and whose writings actually give some information refuting some of the extremes of the KJVO movement.

This book, however, is singularly responsible for birth of the " King James only " / " Textus Receptus only " controversial viewpoint that gained wide acceptance among KJV-Only believers.

" The Sword of the Lord believes the Bible, the Scriptures of the Old Testament and the New Testament, preserved for us in the Masoretic text ( Old Testament ), the Textus Receptus ( New Testament ) and the King James Bible, is verbally and plenarily inspired of God.

There is some controversy over which texts should be used as a basis for translation, as some of the alternate sources do not include phrases ( or sometimes entire verses ) which are found only in the Textus Receptus.

This is an important argument in the King James Only debates: Edward F. Hills argues that the principle of providentially preserved transmission guarantees that the printed Textus Receptus must be the closest text to the Greek autographs.

In the Textus Roffensis of 1130 a catalogue of the library is included within it.
