Red letter edition, all the words spoken by Jesus in the New Testament are highlighted in red text to clearly emphasise them.

Please note that the first edition of the King James Bible in 1611 did not have the words of Jesus in red text, we have added this to make it easier to compare the Bible text with KJV-ENG, the 1769 version of the King James Bible and KJV-SE, the Swedish KJV Bible™ (SKJVB™).

The Bible, the King James Version (KJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), was completed in 1611 and is the most influential and widely distributed translation of the Holy Scriptures; a proven Biblical text.

The King James Bible, was based on the correct line of manuscript New Testament Majority Text (Textus Receptus) and Old Testament Masoretic Text. It has also been compared with the earlier Bible translations and revised to achieve a higher degree of accuracy and formal correspondence with the original languages, resulting in a perfect Bible text, without error, which has now for over 400 years yielded unrivalled fruit to the Lord.

[*The Book of Psalms in the Old Testament is presented in this KJV Bible as a single, complete book, but on our website it is divided into two parts (for practical reasons).]
[**The 14 books/texts that were placed in a separate section, “The Books called Apocrypha”, between the Old and New Testaments in the 1611 KJV. – These books are not part of the Old Testament.]

Please note!

The Apocryphal books are not part of God's inspired word.

The Apocrypha are writings or statements of dubious authenticity’.

The Bible Library™ rejects the Apocrypha as part of the Old Testaments books; we include these books in our library in order to accurately reproduce the first edition of the King James Bible; to show transparency and to acknowledge that these books are included in this edition.

The Apocrypha was only published in the same book as the Holy Bible; the Apocrypha was clearly separated from the Holy Scriptures and should only be viewed from a historical perspective and not as a source of Biblical doctrine or considered part of the word of God.
