Description

The King James Version of the Bible has stood the test of time.

Now it’s catching up with the times.
 
The Barbour Simplified KJV Bible builds off the familiarity and trustworthiness of the King James Version while removing the difficulties of antiquated language and punctuation.

  • outdated verb styles are refreshed—for example, art becomes are; gavest becomes gave
  • old forms of address—like thee, thou, and ye—are updated
  • confusing older terms—such as wroth or divers—are modernized
  • pronouns for God—He, His, Him, You, Yours, Me, My—are capitalized for clarity
  • quotation marks are included with spoken language
  • long sentences are shortened with modern punctuation
  • paragraphs are added throughout
 
The Barbour Simplified KJV Bible maintains the feel of the original King James while noticeably increasing its readability, bringing the trustworthy old translation into the 21st century.

    A great start in the right direction

    Published by Anthony L on Mar 09, 2025

    I was on a laymen’s review team with 11 others for an update of the MEV (Modern English Version) Bible, which just came out in November 2024. It sadly missed the mark in several areas and was not always faithful to the underlying text; especially in the New Testament. However, the SKJV (specifically the large print with slightly updated text) has accomplished what the MEV could not, and has brought a truly simpler update of the KJV without the mess. Also, this specific edition of the SKJV ,compared to the first edition SKJV, has: -much better paper -better print -typos fixed *Conclusion: This is a great step in the right direction. In the future, I would love to see a wider range of products to include: 1. Thin-lines, personal-size large prints, Reader’s editions, KJV/SKJV parallels 2. Study edition that contains translation notes, cross-references (such as KJV’s which are public domain), and maybe even keyed to Strong’s References 3. Editions with Apocrypha (the World English Bible has an apocrypha that is royalty free and could be “sandwiched” in the middle of the testaments). This will open the market to Protestants, Orthodox, and Catholics. All of these use the apocrypha and KJV to extent.
