Many editions of the Bible print Jesus’ words in red ink (although generally not God’s). This is what people who call themselves “red-letter Christians” are referring to. Even those that don’t customarily translate the ineffable name of God as “LORD” in small-caps, and in a few cases, GOD in small caps (generally in phrases such as “the lord GOD”).
