The King James Version Easy Read Bible (KJVER)

For over four centuries, the Word of God was defined as the King James Version of the Bible. No other version has ever matched the beauty of its writing or the depth of its meaning. It is the most published and printed version of the Bible to this day. The King James Version contains the phrases and words that you grew up with and perhaps even memorized.

The King James Version Easy Read (KJVER®) Bible uses the original 1611 King James Version text (based on the Textus Receptus—Received Text—rather than the revised 1881 Greek and Hebrew text), but it updates the language for the modern reader. The KJVER® is not a translation but a replacement edition. Words in the KJV are merely replaced with modern words that are easier to understand—absolutely no words of doctrine have been changed.

KJVer in Comparison to Other Translations

Verse

KJVER

KJV

NKJV

Genesis 2:18

And the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him."

And the Lord God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

And the Lord God said, "It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him."

John 5:24

Verily, verily, I say to you, He that hears My word, and believes on Him that sent Me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death to life.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

1 Samuel 25:22

So and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that urinate against the wall.

So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.

May God do so, and more also, to the enemies of David, if I leave one male of all who belong to him by morning light.

Distinctive Features

Red Letter Old and New Testament
A feature that is unique to our Bibles is a Red Letter Old Testament as well as a Red Letter New Testament. In the Old Testament, the red lettering is the direct words of God Himself. Quotations of God's word by people or angels are encircled with a red rule.

In the New Testament, the traditional color scheme is used, denoting the words of Christ in red. Here citations of the direct words of God from the Old Testament have been encircled in red. Likewise, quotations of the words of God or of Christ by others have been encircled in red.
The Received the Text
Another primary difference between the KJVER® and other versions on the market is it follows the Received Text. The Received Text is what the church fathers have used for over 400 years. The KJVER® follows the King James text almost word for word, merely updating language. Among the many reasons for updating is to allow one who has learned English as a second language to understand the Scriptures without thee's and thou's. Please note this has all been done without changing one word of doctrine or modifying the deity.
Difficult Terms Definition
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 has been frequently misunderstood.
Pronoun Plurality Indicated
Many wanted the reliability of the King James Bible but were unfamiliar or uncomfortable with many of the Old English forms and words. The KJVER® 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 KJVER® 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).
