Reading the Bible on the go? This compact-sized edition was designed with you in mind. Even though this Bible is small, you don’t have to compromise size for readability. Plus, thousands of cross references are conveniently located at the end of verses to help you make connections throughout Scripture.

Trusted by millions of believers around the world, the NKJV remains the bestselling modern “word-for-word” translation. It balances the literary beauty and familiarity of the King James tradition with an extraordinary commitment to preserving the grammar and structure of the underlying biblical languages. And while the translators relied on the traditional Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic text used by the translators of the 1611 KJV, the comprehensive translator notes offer important insights about the latest developments in biblical manuscript studies. The result is a Bible translation that is both beautiful and uncompromising—perfect for serious study, devotional use, and reading aloud.
