WK Translation Notes

a
The rendering of this verse seems very dubious in every English version save Tyndale’s. I believe the thought to be "thy fellowship (or participation) in the faith."
b
Here the MSS. differ. Some read "you" etc.; while others read "us." "In you," though true is commonplace and feeble, but it should be "in us" according to the best authorities.
