WK Translation Notes

+
a
"The throne" in the dative case is right and best supported against the genitive as in the T. R. The dative best expresses proper and permanent relationship.
b
The variety of order is great as to the words kaina poiō panta (make all new) as it should be.
c
"To me" is added after "saith" by, perhaps, most MSS.; but is questionable, though some good MSS. sustain it.
d
Seemingly most MSS. with the T. R. have "true and faithful," but "faithful and true" is best supported.
