Is the Bible Copyrighted?

I know that I could not sell the footnotes or study notes in a Bible... but I am talking about the verses... I can't imagine that the Bible is copyrighted.... but, does anyone know for sure? is it public domain?

The NIV is copyrighted because it is a translation. I think that the original KJV is no longer copyrighted. Don't mistake that for the New King James though.

Since the original King James Version was published in approximately 1769, there is no way it can be copyrighted. Other, more recent versions probably are. Weird to think of the Bible as being subject to copyright isn't it.
