Need for a reference text

The CrossWire KJV is meant to be the faithful e-text edition of the 1769 KJV. To that end it needs to be diligently checked against a reference standard for accuracy.

  • how the 1769 KJV in relation to other editions.
  • the variations found in modern KJV.
  • the KJV-only movement.
