WK Translation Notes

+
a
It is well that in the RV the first eight verses form a separate section. Nowhere in the book is such a division more imperatively called for, which tends to guard the reader from confounding the eternal state with the millennial to the loss of their marked distinctiveness.
b
The Edd. omit the words "unto me"; they are rightly struck out as having no known authority in Greek MSS. Erasmus’ Codex Reuchlini opposes the learned editor himself who ventured to father them.
c
The copies vary greatly in the order of the last words. But "the bride the wife of the Lamb" has the best authority, and the substantial sense is the same.
