The word "another" in the T. R. is omitted in some MSS.
b
"In mid-heaven" is right.
c
Or, "an."
d
Can we say, "an eternal gospel" is a happy rendering? Would not "everlasting gospel" or glad tidings be better! Neither here, nor in {vi 27932}{/vi}, nor anywhere else is the phrase anarthrous because it had become technical, but because the object was to present it characteristically, in distinction from the good news, at a special time, of God’s grace or of Christ’s glory. This gospel, true from the garden of Eden, is to be enforced by the solemn warning of judgment at the doors. The Revisers go back to Tyndale and the Geneva version, who doubtfully appreciated its exact force. The American correctors of the RV read "eternal good tidings." Would not "everlasting" be more correct? There is a shade of difference in our tongue.
e
"Set" or "settled" seems better than "dwelt."
f
T. R. omits "unto."
