In Romans 28:1) is the word "bold" to be spelled this way or "bolde" this way? Is there even a difference? Iv seen it both ways on different sites.

Hi Texsis. I couldn't place "bold" in that reference you gave (which doesn't exist of course), but the word does appear in Romans 10:20. Then in the 1611 Edition of the KJB, we can find "bolde" in a couple of verses ( Proverbs 28:1 & Philemon 1:8). In all these instances, the meaning remains unchanged, regardless of whether modern or olde English is read.

Not sure what you meant by "it doesn't exist" because I read it from this site under the 1611 KJV just minutes before writing you.!



"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bolde as a lyon."

Proverbs 28:1 (KJV) I just wanted to know if it meant something different then bold without the e. that's all. NOW I notice that the word lion is spelled lyon, why is this? I know the meaning of Lord or lord, or Him /him yet wanting to learn the proper ways of His word was simply wondering the purpose of the spelling or misspelling of these words. Is it a misprint or are there different meanings? Thnx & God bless "Texsis"

I was referring to your reference Romans 28:1 which is non-existent. So I then picked out Proverbs 28:1 & Philemon 1:8 as examples. So from the 1611 edition, 'bolde & lyon' are just old English spellings for the words we use as 'bold & lion'; no misspelling here, just 17th Century English. Some people prefer to read the Bible in that old English, but for me, the version we have now is fine & correct. Hope that helps you.
