Why there are italic words in the KJV Bible? What does that mean? Are these italic words added by men to fill the gap of missing words in the manuscripts? Are these added words accurate and to be considered for God's word? Are there any references for these added words somewhere else in the Bible?
The words in italics in the King James Bible were added by the translators to assist in the English flow of the translation. They are not words that "were MISSING from the manuscripts in the original languages"
We can be thankful that the KJV translators put these additional words in italics. It indicates their sincere desire to be faithful to a word for word translation of the original languages. And God has graciously given Theologians and Bible teachers and any student of the Bible, tools like concordances and interlinear versions to check out the translators.
Avoid a paraphrase version of the Bible like the plague.
May God richly bless you as you read and study His Word, the Bible.
