Default Zondervan perputuates Scrivener error

Hi Folks,

The original Cambridge Paragraph Bible

Cambridge Paragraph Bible ... the KJV text in the standard reference work in New Testament Octapla edited by Luther Weigle, chairman of the translation committee that produced the Revised Standard Version.

Ok, not particularly significant, though worthy of note since we are trying to be complete.
Note the following:


... recently, the publisher Zondervan has attempted a revival of Scrivener's text by conforming all its newer editions of the KJV to it, such as its Zondervan KJV Study Bible.


So a newer Zondervan edition, at least the 'KJV Study Bible', will have the improper 'strain out'. I confirmed this in a 2002 edition, which has a lot of material lauding the NAS and NIV Study Bible origins, and the people involved in those editions. A good indication why the best King James Bible publishers are those that understand and appreciate the purity and perfection of the King James Bible and work only with the King James Bible text. With a tip of the cap to the work done on the Pure Cambridge Edition to bring these questions to focus and clarity.

Shalom,
Steven
