WK Translation Notes

+
a
The word "am" is all right in sense, but implied rather than expressed in the best copies.
b
The chief difference in the RV from the KJV is the presence of the article "the" before "Alpha" and before "Omega," as well as before the following words which by the best authorities close the sentence.
c
See note to verse 16.
