Bible Phrases - a list of everyday phrases that come from the Bible. The King James Version was translated by 47 biblical scholars, working in six committees.
It was first printed in 1611 and was by no means the earliest English translation of the Bible. It was pre-dated by several other partial or complete translations, notably John Wyclif's translation in 1382 and William Tyndale's in 1528, the latter forming the basis of a large proportion of the KJV. What raises this version above other versions of the Bible in terms of its linguistic impact is the fact that the language used has persisted into the present day. Many of the phrases included are still commonplace. Here are some of the many phrases that originated in the Bible (most, but not all, from the King James Version).
