In combining scholarly commentary with the NKJV, the authoritative revision of the trusted King James Version, the publisher is pleased to present the labors of learned and reverent men and women who have sought to clarify the meaning of the Scriptures and bring the treasures of Gods Holy Word into the possession of the reader. To that end, the following special features are provided. The text is that of the New King James Version. It has been produced with the conviction that the words of Scripture as originally penned in the Hebrew and Greek were inspired by God. Since they are the eternal Word of God, the Holy Scriptures speak with fresh power to each generation, to give wisdom that leads to salvation, that men and women may serve Christ to the glory of God. The NKJV has been translated according to the philosophy of complete verbal equivalence between the original languages and the English rendering.

As in the King James Version, italic type indicates words that are not found in the original languages but are needed for clarity in English; personal pronouns referring to Deity are capitalized; and the divine names LORD and GOD , when spelled using small capital letters as shown, translate the original Hebrew covenant name of God, Yahweh. The following paragraphs describe The Open Bibles many special features: The verse-by-verse NKJV text has been used, with complete in-text subheadings and references to parallel passages. Words of Christ are in red for easy identification. The most extensive set of NKJV cross-references available is included. There are two kinds of references: Scriptural cross-references are indicated by superior letters in the Bible text; translators notes and alternate readings are indicated by superior numerals in the Bible text. Cross-references that refer to an idea or concept are enclosed in square brackets.
