KJB italicized words

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    “And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I, had lost.” Luke 15:9

    This citation, from this week’s lesson, is not really a very good example, but I have been enjoying reading Bible passages leaving out the italicized words, which were italicized to indicate that they were added by the translators with the intent of making the meaning clearer.

    Often I have found a passage more direct and powerful without the italicized words.
