Is Revelation 20:10 accurate in the KJV?
Question:
Hello.
Is the King James translation of the Book of Revelation in chapter 20, verse 10 in the same book an error?
"And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
Gratitudes
