What are italicised words in the Bible?
Many Bibles use italicized words to mean different things. For example, in English, we have only one word for "love". In Greek, they had 4 different words for "love" and each has a distinct meaning. So, when it was translated to English, all four words were translated as "love". But, perhaps they used italics to mean one of the Greek "loves" and non-italicized to mean another.Look in the front of your Bible and it should give you an explanation for your specific version.
