You have not yet established your preferred Bible translation!

Set Your Preferred Bible Translation

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.

Order of Precedence

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.

• 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.
• 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.
• Finally, if none of the above exist, the KJV will be used as the default. Why? For nostalgic reasons!
