    Liking e-Sword

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this but here goes.

 

When looking at the KJV Bible in e-Sword, I see the text is different in some places and I would like to know what the significance of that is.  For example, Hebrews 10:25 shows the word 'is' and the phrase 'one another' in a light italicized text.  Why is that and what does it mean.  I looked through the HELP PDF file and did not find the answer... maybe I was looking in the wrong place?

 

Thanks for any help.

The original printing of the Authorized Version used roman type to distinguish text supplied by translators, or thought needful for English grammar but not present in the Greek or Hebrew. In the first printing, the device of having different type faces to show supplied words was used sparsely and inconsistently. This is perhaps the most significant difference between the original text and the current text. When, from the later 17th century onwards, the Authorized Version began to be printed in roman type, the typeface for supplied words was changed to italics.

Words in Italics; or in grey or with [ ] are words that are marked as added by the translators.

The reasons for words in italics are: grammar, to explain, words added for doctrinal reasons and by textual variants.

The most translations don't use Italics or the Italics are lost by conversion.

The Geneva Bible was the first Bible with Italics but in the most electronic formats is it lost by conversion.

 

Some Bible translation using italics for quoted text. Only literal translations using italics on the same way as the KJV.

Having Italics is a good feature; because you can see what is added by the translators.
