[Today on DJS: Hebrew and Khoine Greek text had italics, and it's IMPORTANT]
[Emphasis mine. Italics from original]

I'm as narrow-minded as the Bible. Everything I believe is based upon the TRUTH that the Holy Bible is God's inspired and preserved Words. The Bible can be summed up in one word—TRUTH (John 17:17).

believe in the infallible, inspired, preserved, perfect, Word of God. When I use the term “Word of God,” I believe it refers to the King James Bible in English as being the infallible, preserved, inerrant, inspired, perfect, Words of God. I believe in the verbal, plenary, inspiration of the Bible. The Old and New Testament are definitely inspired word-for-word. I accept the Textus Receptus (i.e. Received Text or Majority Text) manuscripts from which the King James Bible was translated in 1611.

The italics added by the translators are also inspired. Jesus quotes Deuteronomy 8:3b (“Man doth not live by bread alone, but by every word which proceedeth out of the mouth of God”) in Matthew 4:4. The word “word” is in italics in Deuteronomy 8:3, but is not in italics in Matthew 4:4. I believe that every jot and tittle (the smallest grammatical marks in a language) are inspired by God (Matthew 5:18). Every word of the Holy Bible is inspired by God. There are no periods, commas, semicolons or parenthesis in the origin Bible. These were added by men. I believe that the 1611 King James Bible (and subsequent text-corrected editions, not revisions) are the preserved INSPIRED Words of God!!!
