Your current Preferred Bible Translation is set to:
King James Version

Selecting the translation from the following dropdown will set it as your Preferred Version. To do this the system will set a cookie on your system so that we will know in the future what that translation is. At this point we must use a cookie to do this. We will make the option if the person desires to have the cookie expire when the browser closes, however it will still write a cookie to do that.

In case you are interested here is the order of precedence in displaying versions. Note in all cases, we test the validity of the translation; meaning that we can only display translations which are available on the BLB.

1. First, if a link is hard-coded with a translation, that translation will be shown. For example, if a commentator were to say, "In the KJV this verse reads...," then we link directly to the KJV. Another example, when you do a word search you are doing a search of a specific translation. So the resulting links for the search results will be linked to the selected translation.
2. Second, if a preferred translation has been set, that translation will be shown when a link is not translation specific (see item above). For example, if you have set a preferred translation, the following link will open a new window to John 3:16 in your preferred translation.
3. Finally, if none of the above exist, the KJV will be used as the default. Why? For nostalgic reasons!
