In what year's edition-revision-update were these marginal readings and notes dropped from the AV?
|
This is a sample of what is in the present margins:
Matthew 1:11 "some read"
Matthew 5:15 "the word in the original signifieth"
Matthew 13:33 "the word in the Greek is"
Matthew 17:24 "called in the original"
Matthew 23:23 *Greek*
Matthew 26:26 "many Greek copies have"
Some people seem to think that the margins take away the certainty of what is presented as the main text, and may think that what are in the margins are valid alternatives. However, the margins are actually the supply of the fuller critical picture, variant readings and less accurate presentations of sense, all of which cannot be considered Scripture. The notes may be explanatory, but are not inerrant, unlike the text of the King James Bible.
