King James Bible (Oxford) 1769

 

   

1:1The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
1:2For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
1:3Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
1:4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
1:5And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
1:6And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
1:7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
1:8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
1:9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
1:10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
1:11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
1:12Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
1:13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.

King James Bible (Oxford) 1769

By the mid-18th century the wide variation in the various modernized printed texts of the Authorized Version, combined with the notorious accumulation of misprints, had reached the proportion of a scandal, and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge both sought to produce an updated standard text. First of the two was the Cambridge edition of 1760, the culmination of twenty-years work by Francis Sawyer Parris, who died in May of that year. This 1760 edition was reprinted without change in 1762 and in John Baskerville's fine folio edition of 1763. This was effectively superseded by the 1769 Oxford edition, edited by Benjamin Blayney.
