WK Translation Notes

+
a
The Complutensian edition has "as" after "heard." One MSS. has it after "a voice." The best copies give it before "a voice."
b
The Edd. Lachman omitted the second "as" contrary to the best authority.
c
The various spellings of the word "saying" (legontōn,—ontas – ontes) is only a question of form. The word as in the Complutensian has the best authority (legontōn), the others arising from desired smoothness.
d
"Our" is lacking in the last clause of the T. R., and hence in the KJV, but there is ample proof for it.
e
It is the aorist in Greek, which in such a case as this it is difficult correctly to represent in English; for neither "reigned" nor "hath reigned" could convey that God had entered on His kingdom, but rather that it was past. The Revisers [of 1881] are here obliged to content themselves like the KJV, with "reigneth." In 11:17 they have "didst reign" for "hast reigned" of the KJV. It is not easy to convey in English its aoristic force; and such a case may have misled our old translators into a longer view of its meaning than is just. To represent it always in English as a simple preterite is a delusion.
