Dear Valued Customer,
The United States Postal Service has issued service alerts for many countries due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
There are now over 80 countries that we cannot send mail to because those countries have issued a temporary suspension of mail services. When placing an order, we will notify you if you're attempting to send an order to one of those countries.
To see a complete list of countries we temporarily cannot mail to, please visit our International Service Alerts webpage.
For those of you who have given to the Chick Mission Fund to supply Chick tracts to missionaries, please rest assured that all of those gifts are set aside in a separate bank account, safely separated from all other funds, ready to be used for missionaries as soon as we are permitted to return to normal operations.
Thank you for your understanding during this difficult time. Your prayers are greatly appreciated!
In Christ Jesus, and for His service,
Chick Publications
Are all KJV Bibles the Same?
From "Answers To Your Bible Version Questions" ©2003 by David W. Daniels - Reproduced by permission
Question: Do all publishing companies publish "the same" identical King James Bible?
Answer: No. All KJVs are not the same. The best text is the Cambridge KJV. Here's why.
Two Kinds of Changes
As I mentioned before, there have been only two changes in the actual KJV text from 1611 to today: 1) spelling errors corrected and 2) spelling changes made to match changes in the English language itself. Other editions of the KJV, printed by different publishers, have slight differences that are not what the pure King James text says.
Slight Differences
Many publishers, large and small, such as those that made family Bibles between the 1800s and 1900s, did not use the Cambridge text as the standard. These people sometimes spelled a few words differently, or substituted one word for another, such as "always" where the KJV says "alway." (See Numbers 9:16; Deuteronomy 11:1; 2 Kings 8:19, etc.). Of course, the most obvious change in text is the Oxford error: wrongly putting "sins" for "sin" (2 Chronicles 33:19) and "he" for "ye" (Jeremiah 34:16). But even these slight differences in the worst copies of the KJV are far better than the "best" readings in the Alexandrian perversions!
The Best Kind of KJV
The only KJV I completely trust is the Cambridge-type. Those Bibles that use that exact Cambridge text, such as all Cambridge KJV Bibles and the Prophecy Study Bible, are what you want. This is the only way to be sure you have an absolutely correct King James Bible. That's what I use and that's what I recommend.
May God bless you as you read His preserved words in English, the King James Bible.
