Books Of The King James Bible





NOTES


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.

There are 80 books in the King James Bible , 39 in the Old Testament , 14 in the Apocrypha , 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''.

N.B. 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 Septuagint numbering, while the King James Version follows the numbering of the Masoretic Text . See the article on '' Psalms '' for more details.
