The Holy Bible: King James Version (KJV)
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
The King James Version of the Bible is still the most widely used text in the English language. The Authorized Version was first begun in 1604 by the Church of England. This version is based upon the Pure Cambridge Edition first published around 1900 which is the product of the process of textual purification that has occurred since 1611 when the Authorized Version was completed.

Most Highlighted Verses in King James Version
2 Chronicles 7:13–14: If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Psalm 23:1–6: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. …
Matthew 11:28–30: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 28:18–20: And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Romans 10:17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
1 Corinthians 10:12–13: Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
2 Corinthians 10:3–6: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; …
Galatians 2:19–21: For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
2 Timothy 2:15–16: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2 Timothy 3:14–17: But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: …

What happened to the References in the KJV (WS) edition? When will Logos include the three (3) clicks to go directly to a verse? Most free Versions include this feature. JoshuaMike Powers

Very disappointed. The Name of God - YHWH is not in all capital letters when it is substituted by Lord or God, etc. Example:Genesis 2:4 (KJV 1900): These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,. In this verse "Lord" is substituted for YHWH and if this digital version was faithful to the KJV we're familiar with, it would be in upper-case letters..LORD. This begs the question what else has been neglected or overlooked...A Reformed

The perfect Received Text in the English language, providentially preserved and without doctrinal error. No other English Bible "can say the same". (How is that for marketing?) Now onto differences between the Logos edition and other KJV 1900 editions (other software, HTML, etc.): - The poetry and the proverbs are formatted in a poetic form, whereas the "regular" KJV 1900 is still in the traditional verse-by-verse format. (This appears to be that the Logos edition is formatted according to Scrivener's Cambridge Paragraph Bible edition of the KJV from 1873.) - The changing of paragraphs (and the deleting of pilcrows) with the KJV 1900, resulting in further conforming to the 1873 edition. - Capitalization differences as well. Example with Proverbs 10:1 [KJV 1900, Logos edition] The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. [KJV 1900, theWord edition] The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. In the end, I actually prefer what Logos did. And from what I've seen, I do not think the italicization has changed, only the formatting. For example, 1st John 5:7-8 in the 1873 is nearly all italicized, while the 1900 is not.2 Timothy 2:15

I sure wish they would go back over this King James version and upper case the first letter of every pronoun for God, and Jesus. I have been doing it myself in the Logos App. but it is getting old having to do this; to me it just seems wrong to not have God, and Jesus pronouns first letters in upper case.

I noticed that in some versions claiming to present the Authorized King James Version including this one and it would seem those from Thomas Nelson too, Genesis 11:3 presents the word thoroughly while others present it as throughly. While I understand that they both have the same meaning and so are both equally correct, which reflects the standardized KJV? I would have thought that a four-hundred-year-old translation would have been fixed and standardized by now.
