Key to the Text
of
The 21st Century King James Version
This is the type most often used in The
21st Century King James Version.
This larger, italic type, indented from each margin, is used to
emphasize the words spoken by Christ.
Boldfaced type denotes
passages which are among the most powerful, most
familiar, best loved, and most-often-quoted and
memorized. The use of emphasized type is also intended to
promote a more balanced and inclusive reading of the
Bible and to discourage a narrow doctrinal approach to
Scripture selection. Many proof texts from a variety of
major doctrinal persuasions appear in emphasized type.
This sansserif
sample is used in those Old
Testament passages which are less familiar, less
frequently quoted and memorized, and less frequently
included in lectionaries and for sermon texts, but which
may be of more specific interest to Bible scholars,
historians, and social scientists. It should be noted
that these passages, though in smaller type, are regarded
as nothing less than the inspired Word of God.
Double diamonds  mark the beginning of
a passage included in the Revised Common Lectionary.
A single diamond marks the end of the passage. If consecutive
verses, paragraphs, or chapters are included, the text is
marked only at the beginning and at the end of the
included portions. The Revised Common Lectionary
is used for selection of sermon texts, educational
literature, and Sunday Scripture readings by many of the
largest denominations in the United States and Canada, as
more fully explained on our Features
Page.
Brackets [ ] are used to enclose
English translations of some Hebrew proper nouns in the
Old Testament. These are not part of the Biblical text
but are taken from explanatory notes found in the
original King James Version of A.D. 1611.
