Context
In the KJV bible, is there any way to know the set of scriptures surrounding a particular scripture so that when I read just one scripture, I can know the other scriptures in context with what I am reading?

Are you speaking of the popup that appears when clicking a link in a resource? If so, you can use split screen and "Jump to Reference" at the bottom right of the popup.

Some online bible will allow the scriptures to be viewed in a contextual view, so as not to take a certain scripture out of its context.

No to be clear, I am speaking of being able to read the Scriptures in terms of context and not just taking one scripture out of its context.

I'm sorry I still don't understand.
Can you give an example of what you are describing?

There is an online Bible found at Biblestudytools.com. It allows you to read a passage of scripture "InContext ".

I have been taught that the first and most important thing to understand about studying the Bible is context. It is fundamental to proper interpretation. Context actually determines meaning. Taking scripture in context allows the text to speak for itself instead of us forcing unnatural interpretations into it. By disregarding context it is possible to make the Bible say almost anything.

Every Bible included with Logos is the complete text, and any reference shown in that text can be navigated to thus showing the entire context of the reference. I'm puzzled - there are not many places in the app where a single verse is shown, aside from the Verse of the Day image (and that too can be read in context by opening any Bible resource).
