Italics in the KJV.

[pawnraider]

I'm thinking of buying a KJV that doesn't have the italics in it like the other KJV bibles do. Does anyone have a KJV without the italics and if so do you like it or not? What are the pro and cons of such a Bible? All others are welcome to post their opinion as well. A description of the Bible is here. And I'm thinking of buying it from here. And is made here.

That looks like a good Bible. (I don't remember seeing italics in mine)

KJV is an excellent translation as long as you take the time to learn the 16th century dialect.

The KJV has words with italics in it because the italics are the words the translator thinks should be there in order to make the sentence fit into English. The only way to get rid of this is to buy an interlinear with only has the straight translation.

Not to put too fine a point on it but the last two replies have nothing to do with my original post. Please stay on the subject. Thank you.

I have never seen a KJV (or NKJV) without italics as they are included for a very good reason which has been highlighted above.

That said I would get a NKJV or a KJV any day of the week as I do not believe in unicorns (mentioned six times therefore not easily dismissable).
