If thou doth want to show how practical the King James Bible is in high school, thou shalt practice its language. Thou shalt hand in reports to thy teachers as a witness to its beauty. When thou doth give reports in front of the class, thou shalt let your peers see your love of the King James Bible by thy words.

Many times those who attempt to utilise (usually to mock) Bible English fail on all sorts of levels. This is because they have no actual understanding of the complex rules of Biblical English. And they have very little idea about meter and other such factors: they are almost wholly ignorant of the Biblical use of punctuation. I am certain that only the Bible is in Biblical English, and that if we unconsciously or consciously follow it, we are merely following what is good literary style. But there is a whole gulf fixed between this and the actual wording of Scripture.
