This volume is a paperback version of The Joseph Smith Translation (JST), Red-Letter edition of the King James Version (KJV) of the New Testament. The purpose of this rendition is to provide a KJV reading that integrates the JST in line. Readers do not need to refer to footnotes, appendices, or another column to find the JST alterations since they appear in line, highlighted in red, within the KJV text itself.

Those familiar with other red-letter editions of the KJV, will recognize the format. Words printed in red in those bible editions, were spoken by the Savior in the first person. They were generally confined to the four Gospels. However, rather than highlighting text in red when the Savior speaks, this rendition highlights in red the changes made by the JST. When altered because of the JST, all original KJV text, verses, and chapters, are retained, but highlighted in blue and given a strike-through.
