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.

Introduction to the Sword Bible
The Bible is a book of books,
the story of God. It is God’s
way of having people come to
know Him and His plan for
mankind. It is not about
organizations, but individuals.
It is about the Old Testament
believers who by faith form the
true family of God throughout
eternity.
The Bible reveals that God has
existence from eternity past to
eternity future and that He is
supreme, all knowing, all
present, all powerful, and
without any equal. “In the
beginning” this self-existing
God “created the heavens and the
earth” (Genesis 1:1). In that
same beginning, “was the Word”
and “the Word was with God, and
the word was God,” and “all
things were made by Him” (John
1:1-3). Also in that same
beginning “the Spirit of God
moved upon the face of the
waters” (Genesis 1:2). This same
Spirit of God is the Comforter,
the Spirit of Truth, who “dwells
with you, and shall be in you,”
i.e., the One who lives within
the heart of every believer.
Being all-knowing, God knew of
the angels, of the nature of
man, and of sin from the
beginning.
The Bible also tells us of Satan
(Heb. “Adversary”) also called
the Devil (Gk. “Slanderer”). He
is the “great dragon” of
Revelation, “that old serpent
called the Devil and Satan” who
“deceives the whole world”
(Revelation 12:9). This “liar”
and “father of [lying]” is not
just deceptive – he is downright
deadly. For, indeed, he “was a
murderer from the beginning”
(John 8:44). So dangerous is he
that believers are commanded to
“put on the whole armor of God”
to withstand his cunning
craftiness (Ephesians 6:11). If
believers “resist the devil” (in
God’s strength), “he will flee
from [them]” (James 4:7.
Ultimately, however, God himself
will cast the devil (and all his
followers) into “the lake of
fire” (Revelation 20:10).
The great message of the Bible
is Christ: that He came to this
earth to live a perfect sinless
life, to teach us the truth, and
then to die as the true Passover
Lamb – as the innocent
sacrificial atonement for our
sins. Thus the Scriptures boldly
proclaim in a thousand way,
“Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved,
and thy house” (Acts 16:31).
The Bible at first may seem
difficult for the average person
to understand. As, however, the
reader yields himself to the
Holy Spirit (who will come to
dwell within the believer), the
Spirit of God will lead the
reader first to Himself, and
then to a more full knowledge of
God and a more complete
understanding of His master
plan. The Holy Spirit will
glorify the Lord Jesus Christ
and show the reader God’s
perfect live in the compassion
of Christ and His touching of
needy lives by His holy
teachings and by His divine
miracles. The reader’s eyes will
be opened and he or she will
come to see the Lord Jesus
Christ who fulfilled the
Messianic prophecies of the Old
Testament (John 14:21, 26;
15:26-27; 16:8-15).
Then the reader will also
discover that the Old Testament
is not dry reading, but it is
the foundation for believing in
the Lord Jesus Christ, as He is
seen in the ancient prophecies
and types. This is true because
“Christ is in the Old Testament
concealed, and in the New
Testament revealed.” Christ is
then seen in the New Testament
as the true and sinless man, and
as th true and faithful One, God
the Son – our King, our Prophet,
and our High Priest.
Because the Bible is God’s
sacred message to mankind, it is
often referred to as God’s Word.
2 Timothy 3:16 says that it is
“given by inspiration of God.”
Our Lord declared that
“Scripture cannot be broken”
(John 10:35). 2 Peter 1:21
affirms that the Bible is not
really of human origin, but
rather “Holy men of God spoke as
they were moved by the Holy
Ghost.”
The depth of this message is so
vast that, although the message
of salvation from sin may be in
its essence simple, yet for a
greater comprehension of God an
a closer walk with Him, many
readings of the Bible are
required with the Holy Spirit’s
guidance.
It is thus the prayer of the
publisher of this Bible that you
will seek that deeper
understanding by diligently
reading and studying these
sacred pages. May it bring new
joy and blessing into your life. |
