. . . what makes the KJV a better translation than the 1599 Geneva Bible?
I'm curious to hear your answers. Thanks!
. . . what makes the KJV a better translation than the 1599 Geneva Bible?
"italics"
Psalm 16:8 ¶ I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. KJV
Psalm 16:8 I have set the Lord always before me: for he is at my right hand, therefore I shall not be moved. GENEVA
Peter quoted the italics Acts 2:25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: KJV
Isaiah 65:1 ¶ I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. KJV
Isaiah 65:1 I have been sought of them that asked not; I was found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my Name. GENEVA
Paul quoted the italics Romans 10:20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. KJV
Deuteronomy 25:4 Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn KJV
Deuteronomy 25:4 ¶ Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn GENEVA
Paul quoted the italics again 1Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? KJV
Peter and Pauls quoting of the italics is just a side note.
Thank you
