== Building on the [[King James Version]] ==

In the [[United States]] and much of the world, the immensely popular and respected [[King James Version]] (KJV) is freely available and in the [[public domain]].  It could be used as the baseline for developing a conservative translation without requiring a license or any fees. Where the KJV is known to be deficient due to discovery of more authentic sources, exceptions can be made that use either more modern [[public domain]] translations as a baseline, or by using the original Greek or Hebrew.

In the [[United States]] and much of the world, the immensely popular and respected [[King James Version]] (KJV) is freely available and in the [[public domain]].  It could be used as the baseline for developing a conservative translation without requiring a license or any fees. Many consider the Conservative Bible Project, as well as any other Bible translation projects, to be heretical and in opposition to Matthew 5:18, which was fulfilled in the King James Bible. Though based on younger manuscripts, the KJB is based on near consensus of 5,700 preserved by Christians, while modern versions are based on three  manuscripts kept by monks (two if you consider the Sainaiticus a fake), which came from Alexandria Egypt, where heritics thought they could "correct" the Bible. All three of the Alexandrian manuscripts contains the Aprocrypha.  

There are 66 books in the [[KJV]], comprised of 1,189 chapters, 31,102 verses, and 788,280 words.<ref>http://www.biblebelievers.com/believers-org/kjv-stats.html</ref>  The project began with translation of the [[New Testament]], which is only 27 books, 260 chapters, 7,957 verses, and less than 200,000 words.
