The New Testament books were all originally written in Koine (Common) Greek. These Greek “autographs” have long since perished but the preserved word of God is still available today in copies of the original manuscripts. Notably, in the work of Robert Estienne (1503-1559) who was born in Paris, France, and was also known as Robert Stephanus in Latin or Robert Stephens in English. “The words of the LORD [God] are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD [God], thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.” Psalm
12:6, 7. “I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before [have reverential awe for] him.” Ecclesiastes 3:14.
Robert Stephanus was a typographer and scholar and he published four editions of the Greek New Testament, namely, in 1546, 1549, 1550, 1551. His third edition in 1550 of the Greek New Testament is known as the “Editio Regia” or the Royal Edition. His fourth edition of the Greek New Testament in 1551 is noteworthy for his division of the New Testament books into chapters and verses, a system which is still in use today. It is his 1550 edition of the Greek New Testament that has been translated to give the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible, in that, almost 100% of the KJV readings match that of the Stephanus 1550 Greek New Testament. This fact is significant because the King James Version of the Bible is the ONLY correct translation of the Bible in English as any Spirit-led study of the KJV will prove. Thus, in the Stephanus 1550 Greek New Testament and the King James Version of the Bible we find the preserved word of God.
