WK Translation Notes

a
The words "To me" after "saying" should vanish, though not without the countenance of MSS. and versions. Both Erasmus and the Complutensian endorsed it.
b
The Revisers in the margin give the meaningless division which some of the ancients espoused and Wycliffe expresses and the Geneva version gave, "which hereafter die in the Lord." But this is singularly far from the scope. On the contrary there was to be, when this epoch arrives, no more dying in the Lord: hence their blessedness is come, rest and reward assured. The Son of Man reaps the earth, and the vintage of unmingled wrath follows. It is the public award at the Lord’s appearing, for those who had labored and suffered for Him, and with especial view to the comfort of the saints dying in the Apocalyptic crisis. There was to be no more dying in the Lord, but rather the blessedness of such thenceforward.
c
"For," not "and," their works follow with them.
