Words and phrases in 1611 such as “works meet for repentance,” “propitiation,” “having your conversation,” etc., need a modern equivalent to be understandable. “The Simplified King James Version – literal text” seeks to help in this matter by supplying in brackets [ ] to the King James Version common meanings of outdated words and phrases. The “Simplified King James Version – paraphrased” further brings understanding by translating into modern English from the Textus Receptus Greek text.

1 Peter is a letter written to the Christians of Asia Minor. This Letter was written evidently at a time when the Christians throughout Asia Minor were suffering from false and malicious charges and threatened with persecution. The object of the Letter is to give encouragement in the face of impending persecution, and to convey the advice needed as to the conduct of Christians at an important crisis in the early history of the Church.

This booklet contain three translations of 1 Peter. The King James Version, the Simplified KJV Literal text and the Simplified KJV Paraphrased. Discipleship questions are supplied for discipleship purposes.
