Here’s a parallel comparison of Philippians 2:5-8 using the AMP and the King James Version (KJV):
The Amplified Bible (AMP) is now updated and available on Bible Gateway, along with the Amplified Bible Classic Edition (AMPC). For the update to the Amplified Bible, the goal of the translation team was to enhance the appeal of the Amplified Bible by refreshing the English and refining the amplifications for relevance and clarity. The result is an Amplified Bible that is easier to read and better than ever to study and understand.
The Amplified Bible of 2015 includes more amplification in the Old Testament and refined amplification in the New Testament. Additionally, the Bible text has been improved to read smoothly in paragraph form with or without amplifications, so that the text may be read either way. The same feel and style of amplification has been maintained, so that those who read the classic Amplified Bible will be able to easily transition to the new text.
Here’s an explanation of the various markings within the text:
Parentheses ( ) signify additional phases of meaning included in the original word, phrase, or clause of the original language.
Brackets [ ] contain justified clarifying words or comments not actually expressed in the immediate original text; as well as definitions of Greek names.
Italicized conjunctions such as “and,” “or,” and the like, not in the original text, are used to connect additional English words indicated in the same original word. In this use, the reader, upon encountering a conjunction in italics, is alerted to the addition of an amplified word or phrase.
