King James Easy to Read Version
This was released in 2001 (but I just "discovered" it in a local Christian book store). This is a modernized King James version. Words are updated to reflect modern usages. "Knoweth" becomes "knows," "shouldst" is replaced by "should," etc. About 1,200 words have been updated in this manner. The revisers also use a superscript "p" to indicate plural second person pronouns. Thus "ye" in the Authorised Version becomes "youp" in this revision. Red lettering is used for the words of Jesus in the New Testament and for the words of God in the Old Testament. The website of this publisher is swordbible.org.
