The King James version of the bible is, unfortunately, a very very inaccurate translation of the Holy Bible. This is mainly due to the fact that considerably more attention was placed on artistic demands than pure accuracy. In addition, the current version as used by the Gree orthodox, Roman Catholic, and several protestant divisions has come about through many changes enacted by various rulers who changed chapter wording and meaning simply because it offended them or was not to their liking. Two entire books (I can't remember which :( ) were totally removed.
There are many different english translations of the bible. I feel compelled to speak in favor of the New International Version (NIV) because of it's fanatic dedication to accuracy. Though the translators themselves will quickly admit that the NIV is far from perfect, and even askGod's forgiveness for this fact, it is probably the most accurate to the true meaning and intent of any other translation.
I also find it strange to quote the Holy Bible from a site called bibls secrets. There are no secrets in the Bible. In fact, the book itself says that God intended the books brought together in the bible as, among other purposes, guides to all men.
