The Easy Reading King James Version

The KJVer Sword Bible text is based on the beloved 1611 King James Version with minor word changes to make the text easier to read and understand. The KJVer does not change any doctrine or meaning but has merely helps to explain the text through minor word updates. For example: "Thee" is changed to "You" and "believest" to believe. An index of every word change is included in the KJVer so that you can reference the old English and the changes. This Bible uniquely red letters the places in the Old Testament where God Himself speaks as well as uses the traditional red lettering of the words of Christ in the New Testament. Hebrew names of God and special word meanings explained. Topical concordance, book summaries, and many other helps. Old Testament references tied to New Testament references concerning the Messiah. Margin study guide. Large print -- 12.7 point size. Introductions and outlines of each book. Historical outlines. Unique and original maps. The Sword have a unique easy to use margin study guide with over 90 topics from which to choose. This margin study guide allows the reader to go from cover-to-cover using the pure word of God as their study. There are many other study helps too numerous to list. To name just a few are: a topical concordance, maps, earthquake charts, flood information, the chronology of the Bible (by Dr. Floyd Jones), Bible and Science (by Dr. Henry Morris), guide to the laws of the Bible, Jewish calendar, a survey of Daniel's 70 weeks, land and people of the Bible, the time of the patriarchs, judges and kings, and on and on. Another primary difference between the KJV Easy Reading and other versions on the market is it follows the Received Text. The Received Text is what the church fathers have used for nearly 400 years. The Easy Reading follows the King James text almost word for word merely updating language. Among the many reasons for this is it allows one who has learned English as a second language to have an understanding of the scriptures without thee's and thous'. Please note this has all been done without changing one word of doctrine or touching deity. Underlined words are defined at the end of the verse in a different typeface. When an underlined word occurs more than once per column, it is defined generally in the first and last occurrence in the text column. The explanatory words are not necessarily to be understood as alternate translations, nor as corrective translations. These words, however, will often open up the meaning of a word or verse that often has been otherwise not understood or misunderstood. Many wanted the reliability of the King James Bible but were unfamiliar or uncomfortable with many of the old English forms and words. The King James Easy Reading Bible changes all second person singular pronouns to their modern equivalents: thee (you), thy (your), thine (yours), and thyself (yourself). To distinguish the plural pronouns from the singular ones, the King James Easy Reading Bible places a superscript p (meaning plural) after each plural second person pronoun. Accordingly, the old English forms yield to the modern equivalents: ye (you p ), you (you p ), your (your p ), yours (yours ), and yourselves (yourselves ). Whenever these forms reflect the name of deity, they begin with a capital letter. The KJVer version is the easiest reading Bible at the 4th Grade level as tested by the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level Indicator test.
