    Why are some words in italics?

    Hi Robert,

    That is actually a very good question which I just learned about recently. The words that are in italics in the Bible are words that were not necessarily in the original Hebrew or Greek texts. They were added of coarse to help the verses flow in the English language. As I am no scholar in Hebrew or Greek their languages have their own details.

    As said most of the words are just to help the verse flow in our language. Though I have seen a couple words that I don't see the reason they added them.

    Hope that helps some. Again good question.

    God Bless.
