WK Translation Notes

+
a
The marginal alternative reading of "grace" for "joy" seems extravagantly wrong, even though some of the best copies favour it.
b
An omission in the KJV is supplied in the RV, "these things," or "this."
c
In "the" truth is right, only the T. R. omits "the", which the Revisers rightly follow, "in the truth."
