What country are you from / living in? What is your native language ? How old are you ?
Do you trust God or men ?

Hi, I'm a huge fan of the KJV Bible and am looking for help understanding it better than I can on my own. For example, I'd like to know how scholars interpret the verses, since the content is from a society, culture, and language 2000+ years old.

I've been reading reviews of various study Bibles and the NKJV Study Bible caught my eye. I'm hoping to avoid endless essays about the nuance of every second word. Also, is a study Bible the right source to get such interpretations?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have found the KJV to be the more dependable Word of God for man, The NKJV is fairly good for general comparison for easy reading, but I use the Old Scofield Edition of KJV as a Study Bible. It does not change the text of the venerable KJV, but adds footnotes and commentaries to show meanings and why certain words need to be changed, where the translators of the original version made some errs (there are errors in all efforts by men).

See 2 Thessalonians 2:2 which needs to be read as "Day of the Lord", which is the time of the wrath of God on the earth. We see 1 Thess. speaks of the "Day of Christ" ---a time of blessings for saints, and 2 Thess. speaks of the "Day of the Lord" which is judgment on this world.

Well, keep reading the Word, brother.

footnote: remember God has sent a famine of the hearing of the Word of God throughout the world.
He probably gave His Reason Why , in Scripture.
in line with also
"no man can receive anything, unless the Father in heaven grants it" ...
so no one can claim they 'gained' anything (knowledge or otherwise) by their own efforts....

I personally only use the King James version study Bible.

MacArthur, Reformation, Reformation Heritage KJV, are all excellent choices.

Yours in the Lord,

I use the Thomas Nelson KJV Study Bible.

It's a beautiful thing.
