KJ, Greek, Hebrew and modern English all side by side. You mean interlinear, I think. I have the bible in a set like that. Makes it a lot easier to show the cult religions where they are way off base. I also have the bible in a multiple versions format, with KJV, NAS, NLT and NIV all side by side. Very useful when trying to really grasp the truest meaning and depth of a passage. LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.

Beware of thieves, scammers and dishonest members on the "Fire" classifieds. Ya there is a thief here too. Whatever!! They're all around the CampFire and everywhere.

(Point being that the red words are just as open to interpretation/translation over the years as any of the rest.) Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

It was the magazine Christian Herald, IIRC, that first offered such Bibles or New Testaments as subscription premiums in the early 20th century. "Good enough" isn't. Always take your responsibilities seriously but never yourself.

Never had a red letter edition, and actually never saw the need. "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." (Prov 4:23) Brother Keith
