WK Translation Notes

a
"And the Living One: and I was dead," opens vs. 18 rightly.
b
"Amen" after "of the ages" should vanish, it is not in the more ancient MSS., though read by some, it seems due to the copyists making the phrase a doxology, and adding "amen" as a correction.
c
The best MSS. support the order "of death and of hades."
