That rather depends upon the translation of the Bible used.  The KJV
was given a polish from Genesis to Revelation to make it read
beautifully (one of my ancestors was involved).  Some later versions
were written to be more in keeping with common speech and to be used
for private study.  Compare John Iv1 in the KJV:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.

with The Basic English Bible:

- From the first he was the Word, and the Word was in relation with God
and was God.
