WK Translation Notes

+
a
The T. R. fails to give the article "the," though in Codex Reuchlini Erasmus ought to have seen it written above in red. The Edd. give it.
b
The better authorities support Erasmus and the T. R. in omitting "and sinners" after "faithless," contrary to the Complutensian edition, with very many later MSS.
c
The emphatic form is right in the last clause, where Codex Reuchlini misled Erasmus, etc., and one MS. has only "death." No; it is exactly not death merely because of sin as in Eden at the beginning, nor destructive judgments on the earth as in the past or the future; but now at the end "the second death," because of grace and truth fully come yet rejected, despised, or corrupted. God is not mocked.
