What’s Changed? The King James Version is the most published and printed translation of the Bible to this day. No other version has ever matched the beauty of its writing or the depth of its meaning. The King James Version Easy Read Bible (KJVER™) is “The Trusted King James in an Easy Read Format®.” It uses the original 1611 King James Version text (based on the Textus Receptus— Received Text—rather than the revised 1881 Greek and Hebrew text). The KJVER enhances the readability of the classic, beloved KJV by updating some seventeenth-century English words to their twenty-first-century equivalents. Even with these word exchanges, no doctrine has been changed. The KJVER maintains the meaning and integrity of the KJV translation.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE KJV SWORD LARGE PRINT EDITION 1190

The King James Version Sword Large Print edition includes many of the same special features that are in the KJVER (such as red lettering and shading, definitions for antiquated words, Hebrew names of God explained, Essential Themes String-Reference Bible Study, and enhanced readability), but it retains the original style of wording from the KJV 1611, with no updating of pronoun and verb forms and no word exchanges with modern equivalents.

Special Features of The King James Version Easy Read Bible (kjver) The basic text of the King James Version Easy Read Bible (kjver) is the beloved King James Version of 1611, with minor word changes in the case of clearly archaic or obsolete words, as indicated under the subhead below entitled “Antiquated Words Clarified and Defined.” The following is an overview of the special features of the kjver, with its distinctive tools for studying and understanding Scripture:

Red Lettering Incorporated into Both Old and New Testaments The red lettering in this Bible version is unique in that it may be found in both the Old and New Testaments. While the publisher believes firmly that all of the Bible is God’s Word and is therefore inerrant (see 2 Timothy 3:16), the placing of Christ’s words in red in the New Testament has proven to be a special help and blessing to countless people over the years, and this feature was selected to be a part of the kjver as well. In addition, this Bible version uses red type to highlight the direct words of God throughout the entire Old Testament. It is hoped that this emphasis will add blessing and clarity to your Old Testament devotional reading and study.

You should be aware, however, that the red lettering is only suggestive. In many instances in both testaments, scholars may differ on whether this or that particular verse or passage should appear in red. Moreover, since neither the Old Testament Hebrew nor the New Testament Greek manuscripts use quotation marks, it is often difficult to determine whether God or Christ is speaking directly. Nevertheless, great effort has gone into color coding the text as accurately as possible. The editors have marked verses in red for both testaments in an attitude of prayerful study and dependence on God. This labor, it is trusted, will indeed bring greater enjoyment and understanding to your Bible reading. It is our prayer that the aid of red lettering, as well as the shaded areas of text described under the next subhead, will enable you to better understand God’s holy Word and to love and worship God in all His redemptive fullness.

Shaded Areas of Text Indicate Quotations from God In both the Old and New Testaments, when biblical speakers or angels quote the words of God or Christ, these words are shaded in red. In the New Testament, citations of the direct words of God from the Old Testament are also shaded (as in the case of many of the Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming of Christ). Readers are reminded that the red type and shading in the text are offered as a study help to the Scriptures, and that all of the Bible, be it in red or black print, is indeed God’s infallible Word.

Designed for Increased Readability Pronouns: For increased readability, the King James Version Easy Read Bible changes all second-person singular pronouns to their modern equivalents: thee (you), thy (your), thine (yours), and thyself (yourself). Whenever these forms reflect the name of deity, they begin with a capital letter.

Verb Forms: In addition to changing the old English second-person pronouns, archaic verb forms have been changed to their modern counterparts. For example, knoweth becomes knows, shouldest becomes should, shalt becomes shall, and holpen becomes helped. These verb changes involve only the spelling of verb tenses and do not alter the tenses themselves. Modernizing second-person pronouns and archaic verb forms removes about 98 percent of the confusion that some readers have with the King James Bible. A few other textual changes, such as to wit (that is or to know), even (evening), and armour (armor), were made as well. Even with these minor changes, the kjver still presents theTO King James translation 16inAnd its verbal, formal-equivalent Jacob fathered Joseph theaccuracy. husband THE GOSPEL ACCORDING It remains a near word-for-word translation, as opposed to a dynamic-equivalent translation that more subjectively translates of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is expression for expression.
