A 1653 edition of the King James Bible, where the word "not" was (unintentionally?) left out. So, instead of reading:

  • Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God
in 1 Corinthians 6, it read
  • Know ye not that the unrighteous shall inherit the kingdom of God

Of course, it was recalled immediately.
Something similar had already happened in 1631 with the so-called Wicked Bible; and was to happen again in 1702 and 1801 with the so-called Printer's Bible and Murderer's Bible.
