Joseph Smith and the King James Bible

Young Joseph Smith sought guidance in his King James Bible and found it in JS—H 1:1–20.)

Today, English-speaking Church members use the Latter-day Saint edition of the King James Version of the Bible. Based on the doctrinal clarity of latter-day revelation given to the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Church has held to the King James Version as being doctrinally more accurate than recent versions.

In 2010 the Church published 364,000 copies of the Latter-day Saint edition of the King James Bible.
