The King James Version used italics to indicate words that had no exact equivalent in the original text, but had been supplied by the translators for various reasons, usually to render the text more readable in English.<ref>https://rsc.byu.edu/vol-6-no-1-2005/joseph-smith-translation-italicized-words-king-james-version#:~:text=Typically%2C%20the%20italicized%20words%20of,sense%3B%20(4)%20adding%20indefinite</ref> Modern style is to use italics for emphasis, and their different use in the King James Version can be misleading to modern readers. Many modern editions of the King James Version, including the online Biblegateway.com, omit the KJV's italicization.<ref>We preserve the italics in our entries here from the KJV, as in the important [[1st Corinthians, Chapter 3|1 Corinthians 3:17]] which italicizes the second reference to "temple" for clarity.</ref>
