Dear jjackson-ga;
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. Using the electronic version of the Bible interface courtesy
of E-SWORD, a simple word search revealed that the word ?IF? appears,
between the opening of the Old Testament Book of Genesis to the last
word of the Bible in the New Testament Book of Revelation, precisely
1,595 times in 1,420 different verses of the King James version of the
Bible.
Similarly, a search revealed that the word ?IF? appears:
1,673 time in the English Standard Version
1,588 times in the American Standard Version
1,670 times in the Modified King James Version
?and of course there are dozens upon dozens of other version of the Bible.
E-SWORD is a fully searchable interface that anyone can download for
free. You have your choice of some 70 version of the Bible. If you
have additional questions about how often words occur in other version
of the Bible you can simply download this interface, select the
version you are interested in, and search the text using the search
