King James Version
Shop KJV Bibles in the classic King James Version, known for its traditional language and distinctive literary style.
Choose from Study, Large Print, Compact, Journaling, Gift and Reference KJV Bibles, including Red Letter, Thumb Index and premium editions.
The King James Version (KJV) is one of the most influential English Bible translations and remains popular for its traditional language, memorable phrasing and literary style.
When choosing a KJV Bible, think about how you plan to use it. A Study or Reference Bible can help with deeper reading, while Large Print and Giant Print editions make the text easier to read. Compact and Pocket KJV Bibles are easier to carry, and Gift, Leather and Red Letter editions can be a good choice for personal use or special occasions.
The KJV uses older English vocabulary and sentence structures, so some readers find it less immediately accessible than modern translations. Many people, however, value its traditional wording and become more comfortable with the language over time.
If you prefer the style of the KJV but would like more modern English, the New King James Version (NKJV) may be worth considering.
The NKJV keeps much of the traditional style and structure of the King James Version while updating archaic words, spelling and grammar. The KJV retains the classic wording associated with the historic translation, while the NKJV is generally easier for modern readers to follow.
For regular reading, look for an edition with a comfortable print size and a binding that suits how often you will use it. Large Print editions can make longer reading sessions easier, while Compact editions are useful if portability matters. If you regularly study different passages, cross-references, a concordance or thumb indexing may also be helpful.
A Red Letter KJV Bible prints the words traditionally attributed to Jesus in red, usually throughout the Gospels and other passages where Christ speaks. The biblical text itself is unchanged; the red lettering is a reading aid designed to make these passages easier to identify.
All KJV editions use the King James Version text, but individual Bibles can differ greatly in print size, binding, page layout and additional features. Some include study notes, cross-references, maps, concordances, red-letter text, thumb indexes or presentation pages, so it is worth comparing the features as well as the cover.
The King James Version is available in more formats than any other translation. Here is where to find what you need.
For study and in-depth reading, the Study range includes the Thompson Chain-Reference, the Life Application Study Bible, and other annotated editions built for serious engagement with the text.
For readers who need larger text, the Large Print range covers everything from standard large print to super giant print editions, with and without a thumb index.
For a gift, the Gift and Award range and Premium Editions both include well-made, presentation-ready options at a range of price points. Great for a gift that lasts.
For carrying to church, the Compact and Pocket range and Thinline editions are designed for portability without compromising print size. A great way to never be without the Bible again.
