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
s. 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.
GOOD NEWS
FOR MODERN MAN - GOOD NEWS BIBLE
The
GNB questions the VIRGIN BIRTH OF CHRIST by
removing the prophecy of HIS VIRGIN BIRTH in
Isaiah 7:14
KJB: "A virgin shall conceive."
GNB: "A young woman will have a son."
The
GNB alters our Lord's DIVINE GOODNESS by
deleting the word "good" from Matthew 19:16-17.
KJB: "Good Master, what good thing shall I
do...Why callest thou Me good? There is none
good but One, that is God."
GNB:
"Teacher...what good thing must I do...Why do
you ask me concerning what is good? There is
only One who is good."
The
GNB eliminates Christ's Divine SONSHIP in John
6:69
KJB: "We believe and are sure that thou are the
Christ, the Son of the living God."
GNB: "We believe and know that you are the Holy
One who has come from God."
The
GNB omits Christ's title "Son of God" in John
9:35
KJB: "Son of God"
GNB: "Son of Man"
The
GNB replaces references to Christ's "Blood" with
"death." Many of the numerous passages that
speak of the "Blood of Christ" {I Peter
1:18-19}, without which there is no redemption,
are distorted and the vital words have been
effectively removed from the GNB.
In Ephesians 1:17:
KJB: "In Whom we have redemption through His
Blood."
GNB: "For by the death of Christ we are set
free"
Another example is I Peter 1:18+19:
KJB: "But with the precious Blood of Christ...."
GNB: "By the costly sacrifice of Christ...."
In fourteen
other places that speak of the Lord Jesus
Christ, "Blood" has been removed in the GNB and
has been replaced with "death" or "sacrifice."
The GNB
eliminates the vital doctrine of redemption
through the Blood of the Lamb, to present a
bloodless and false gospel.
