Often, when I read the scriptures and something just feels "off," I look down and find a JST footnote that clarifies it all. I am so grateful for this profound blessing in elevating our understanding of the gospel, and applying it in our lives. I am grateful for the prophet, Joseph Smith and for those who worked to include these inspired verses our scriptures.

I purchased a Kindle copy of the Red Letter Edition a few weeks ago and have been reading it instead of the KJV. I’ve almost finished the 4 gospels and feel the Spirit strongly when I read it. I also joy in the truths revealed by the corrections which are easier to appreciate in context with the original KJV.

Before anyone objects, it is true that in June 1909, Elder Benjamin F. Cummings was invited to view and handle the New Translation manuscripts at the invitation of Fredrick M. Smith, son of Joseph Smith III. However, he was not able to make any "critical examination" of the manuscripts.
Plus, the link to the JST Red-Letter Editions referred to at the end of the article is:

I had no idea of the challenges the Church encountered obtaining the JST!
I wish that more members appreciated how recently the blessings of the JST became available to us.
God's blessings on this man and his righteous efforts. Well done, thou good and faithful servant!
