WK Translation Notes

a
The best MSS. and ancient versions omit the last part of the verse. Believing it to be spurious on the best and ample authority, I am of opinion that it is of great importance to the force of the passage that the gloss added should be rejected. These words are of the greatest value in verse 4. If introduced here, it would dislocate all truth, impair all grace, and eventually destroy all the springs of power in walk. But the first verse of the chapter speaks only of position, and if you bring in walk there, the position is unsettled, and the truth is spoiled.
