SWORD BIBLE FEATURES:
Two
Different Versions
The Sword Bible is available in two different versions.
The
KJERV (King James Easy
Reading Version) and the KJV
(King James Version). Both bibles offer a number of unique
features not found in similar editions. Read below for
a detailed descriptions of the features that make the Sword
Bible a truly unparalleled publication
Special
Margin Study Guide.
All of our large Bibles 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.
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.
In the New Testament the red lettering is the words of Christ.
Large
Print
Our
Easy Reading Bible has
significantly larger text
than the similar sized
bibles.
The Received Text
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.
Difficult Term Definitions
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.
Superscript P's
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.
Reading Grade Level
The KJVER version is the easiest reading Bible at the 4th Grade
level.
This below chart is a Flesch-Kincaid
Grade Level Indicator test performed on the top seven Bible
versions
plus the Easy Reading King
James. Looking at the results, the KJVER is at the 4th
grade level. Combined with the underlined and defined end
of verse
meanings, this makes it by far the easiest to read most
desirable Bible, following the Received Text for people of
all ages.
The KJVER uses one and two syllable words while new versions
have to use multi-syllable words and phrases. Due to the
derivative copyright law, this means there can never be
another English Bible easier to read than this.
