King James Version only or its ok to use other versions?

None of my ESV's have those run together words, Ed. You really need to stop buying your Bibles from rummage sales :laugh:

Not only don't the words run together, but there is a footnote in there! So mine reads "in 3 the" and the 3 says at the bottom of the page "Some manuscripts the Lord"

So maybe when you c&p it, you didn't have the footnotes and when it took out the footnote, it pushed the two words together.

What Ann said is right. Ed goes to Cut & Paste practice ...

Bro, the KJV doesn't even agree with it's own underlying text, in places. We can look and see the translation errors for ourselves (I do not read Hebrew, but I do read Greek). In order for you to make these assertions, you would have to say that God intentionally caused these errors> i.e. that the errors themselves were inspired...

Brother, might I suggest the ESV? A most EXCELLENT translation.

Woh.......... DUDE!

The KJV is worth having and using to the extent that it is helpful to each individual, but to state that it is the only Bible a Christian should ever read is to worship the translation rather than the Author. Not a good idea.

Excellent observation
