William D. Barrick, "King James Only, Sometimes, Never: Examining the Modern Versions of the Bible" (unpublished paper, Shepherd's
Conference, March 2005). Due to the constraints of space in the individual verse charts, I have shortened the longer acronyms for the versions to just 3-letter
abbreviations. Full abbreviations will be used elsewhere.
