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 the near consensus of 5,700 manuscripts preserved by Christians, while modern versions are based on three manuscripts kept by monks (two if you consider the Sinaiticus a fake), which came from Alexandria, Egypt, where heretics thought they could "correct" the Bible. All three of the Alexandrian manuscripts contain the Apocrypha.

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 a translation of the [[New Testament]], which is only 27 books, 260 chapters, 7,957 verses, and less than 200,000 words.

Starting in July 2017, additional Old Testament books regarded as canonical in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditions will be added to the CBP's translation efforts. This will be of benefit to conservative-minded individuals who belong to those traditions, as well as others, since Protestant reformers have regarded these books as "good to read," even if these Reformers did not consider them canonical due in part to their absence from the Hebrew Bible.
