OK to Write in Your Bible?

Question:

Is it OK to write in your Bible?

Answer:

Certainly, if by that you mean underlining passages for easy reference or writing explanatory notes to help you understand God’s written word better. On the other hand, writing intended to deface a Bible would be wrong, as it would be an act of irreverence toward God and the Sacred Scripture he’s given us.
