Mr. Johnson (Grymir)--Thanks so much for the encouragement. We are going to start using the KJV in family devotions as well, so my wife can also be a better witness to some of those who work around her.

Rev. Cotton--I considered using the Geneva. The decision to use the KJV was partly motivated by the widespread use of the KJV in this area.

I agree that the idea of updating the KJV solely to please some "readers," so sales will go up and profits will increase, is repugnant. My questions were motivated by wanting to be exact and ethical when I made adaptations for my congregation or when writing papers, etc.
