good grief, go home for a quiet weekend, and come back to a loong

You will find that the King James version (also known as the Authorised
version) is the only Bible you can copy with impunity. Any other English
translation is covered by copyright from its publisher. I am not sure how
this affects the public reading of these editions in church, but you may
find that this is allowed in the copyright notice, I have not gone looking
to see.
