Product Description

The translators of the KJV (1611) did a magnificent job in keeping the Spirit of the original manuscripts while putting the text into the English language that was "modern" at the time of the translation. 

They considered the Bible to be sacred. Therefore they translated from the original as purely as they possibly could, keeping the intent of the Spirit of God as they set forth the concepts in the English language. 

While some of the words of the 1600's English have become archaic, this can be easily taken care of by simple definitions of those key words.  

We have put definitions, when needed, printed in italics beside the word, or in some cases under the word.

 For example:
 
I Cor. 16:13 ... Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Quit:
   -   (archaic)  Behave in a specified way, thus "act like men"


Eph. 2:1 ... And you hath HE quickened (made alive), who were dead in trespasses and sins.


*****

When the names "HE, HIS, THINE, THOU" and such pertain to either God or Jesus we have capitalized those references to help the reader identify the godhead when it is mixed with speaking to humans.

Examples:  

Hebrews 1 ... God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by HIS Son, WHOM HE hath appointed heir of all things, BY WHOM also HE made the worlds; 

The capital letters help us to think of God in context with the statement.  Hopefully we will stand in awe of the name of GOD.  And this helps us to see more clearly when it pertains to GOD.


Another example:  

Jn. 1:32-33 ... And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon HIM. 33 And I knew HIM not: but HE that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon WHOM thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on HIM, the same is HE which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
