The word of our God shall stand for ever.
Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but my words shall not pass away.
The scripture cannot be broken.
The Textus Receptus is the received Greek text of the New Testament, the form printed and received in the Reformation. The King James Version was translated from it. It is not the original autographs. It is a printed Greek text, gathered from manuscripts the church had received. Other editions and other manuscript families exist. The question for the reader is not a quarrel of scholars. It is the word that stands. Heaven and earth shall pass away. His words shall not. The Textus Receptus is the Greek behind the English Bible most of the English-speaking church has read.
