Zondervan did not always publish the Scrivener edition, and may only be reproducing it in some of its KJBs.
As for the one mentioned by textusreceptusonly, it is probably following one of these two editions: The two edition-types from recent years with lowercase "spirit" in Genesis 1:2 are the Cambridge Standard Text Edition (appeared in circa 1993), and the Eyre and Spottiswoode Edition from about the 1950s. The American editions traditionally (but not always) followed the Oxford or a mixture of the Cambridge Edition(s). These type of KJBs (as were printed by Thomas Nelson and others) were considered "normal". Two things have happened in recent years: (1.) a lot of editing/modernising has been going on in KJBs. (2.) there is now a rising degree of understanding concerning the editions issue, including a push to promote one particular Cambridge Edition as the standard edition.

So, with the one that I ordered, is it the "true" Word of God then?

Like Pilate, you must resolve the question of "What is truth?" to begin with.
If you received the Word of God from the Holy Ghost's provision, then you got the true Word of God. |

Hi Folks,
Quote:
http://members.aol.com/kjvisbest/sources.htm An Essay on Sources How to Find Materials for Comparative Study of the KJV and Earlier Versions by T.L. Hubeart Jr. in at least one significant passage the 1873 version has been altered (see 1 John 5:7, where Weigle's Octapla shows Scrivener throwing the "Johannine Comma" into italics, while the Zondervan volumes put it back into regular type!). We do have on the net the 1884 re-printing of the 1873 work: The Authorized Edition of the English Bible (1611): Its Subsequent Reprints and Modern Representatives - F. H. A. Scrivener However, the actual Cambridge Paragraph Bible, with Scrivener as editor, is not on the Net, nor the Octapla, so I cannot easily check if this mangling by italics was done, and if so was it Scrivener and Weigle, or only Weigle. Anybody who can check, much appreciated. I do have a Scrivener-based Zondervan edition 'KJV Study Bible' where the Johannine Comma text size and font is fine. Shalom, Steven |

Scrivener's 1873 Paragraph Edition had "strain out a gnat", "profession of our hope" and 1 John 5:7 in italics. These things have probably been changed in the recent Zondervan reprintings. Just when a few people thought that Scrivener's edition was the best, then Norton's edition came along, which several think is better. Of course, these editions are way off the track.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Cam...aragraph_Bible Quote:

Psalm 68:11 says, "The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it."
John 17:14a says, "I have given them thy word". 1 Thess. 2:13 says, "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe." From these verses and many others we can conclude that the Word is single (one), not plural (many), and we can see that God has promised to get one Word to us today. "For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God" (2 Cor. 2:17a). There are corrupters around, so we could not just accept anything as "the Word of God", but must see that there is the true, and that there are those which are of the error and corruption. |

OK I know that, but how do I know if I'm using the right translation of the KJV?

There is only one translation or version called the King James Bible.

No there isn't. There has been many revisions to the KJV Bible. What exact Bible are you using? Can you find it on a website and show it to me?
