In the TR of Revelation 6:11 the Greek word stolai (Strong's #4749) is plural and rendered as "robes" in the KJV and Young's text-- καὶ ἐδόθησαν ἑκάστοις στολαὶ λευκαὶ, καὶ ἐῤῥέθη αὐτοῖς ἵνα ἀναπαύσωνται ἔτι χρόνον μικρόν ἕως οὗ πληρωσονται καὶ οἱ σύνδουλοι αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτῶν οἱ...

Very good! So you (Askjo) agree that there is more than one way to translate "against it" into English from Greek. But you are not fair or consistent. The compound word in Matthew has kat- combined with another word (which means "prevail") between "against" and "it". Literally the Greek order...

1. Askjo, where is kat (against) in Matthew 16:18? TR κἀγὼ δέ σοι λέγω ὅτι σὺ εἶ Πέτρος καὶ ἐπὶ ταύτῃ τῇ πέτρᾳ οἰκοδομήσω μου τὴν ἐκκλησίαν καὶ πύλαι ᾅδου οὐ κατισχύσουσιν αὐτῆς KJV And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates...

The first KJV word translated "by" in Romans 3:30 is ek, but the second is a different Greek word (dia). Galatians 3 does not have 38 verses; but the phrase "by faith" occurs at Galatians 3:11, 22, 24 (all three ek), and 26 (dia).

However Van, you may want to investigate the Concordant Literal Version of the New Testament; I've read it and its not bad (you may not like its textual basis or its theological bent). Also, works such as the Basic Bible use a very limited vocabulary (about 800-1200 words) which by necessity...

I concur; there is no textual variant in the Greek here. It has been stated that the NKJV does not 'follow the TR' which seems to imply that it follows some other modern Greek text. That is not possible at John 10:6 since the CT has the same reading as the TR. 'Not following' would ordinarily...

We must sometimes get away from the Authorized Version, if for no other reason, simply because it is so beautiful and so solemn. Beauty exalts, but beauty also lulls. Early associations endear, but they also confuse. Through that beautiful solemnity, the transporting or horrifying realities of...

Yes, and yes. I have some NT parallels with as many as 8 versions together; great for comparison, and just plain fun to read (saves space, too). I think, interlinears assist in raising the confidence level that the translators and translations are actually following a text. They can help with...

All that have sinned indeed have come short (the entire human race, minus One), and all that are indeed justified are only justified by grace through Jesus Christ. Or to say it another way, every justified person that comes to redemption through Christ Jesus was once a sinner. This 'new' NIV...

Number 1 in the list of Mrs. Riplinger's objectives for her book was to show evidence of "God's built-in dictionary" in the KJV; it is clearly an important feature of her book because is also stated on the front cover. Chapter One covers four steps to discover an alleged "built-in" dictionary...

Steps Three & Four applied to GAR's examples This paragraph of the genealogies of this chapter begins at verse 15 and ends with verse 20. There is very little narrative and I found no defining words that could be applied to ABROAD. Furthermore, I found no matches in the rest of the chapter. This...

Step Two applied to GAR's 5 examples ABROAD Gen. 10:18 | "spread abroad" | OED | "wide spread"17 And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, 18 And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 19 And the...

ABHOR ABIDE - 'defined' using Step Two ABROAD ADAMANT AFFINITY AGUE AVERSE BRUIT CHARGE CHASTE CHOLER - 'defined' using Step Two CHURLISH Referring back to the earlier list of 12 'difficult' words (5 hers in blue, 7 mine) we can summarize: none were clearly defined by the KJV BID...

Now, below I have followed GAR's Step Three (read the paragraph) and Step Four (read the chapter) with these remaining difficult words that had failed under Step One (the word next to it) and Step Two (the verses before or after, quoted below) to be found in the alleged KJV BID. I will not be...

I also went to gradeschool with a fellow with the surname Chapman. Words are given their meaning contextually. Although 'Brown' is a rather common last name I do not neccessarily think of it only as a human moniker, but in the context of describing colours I would think of it as a colour...

Previously, I applied Step One to some difficult words not in LoKJB; now Steps Two and Three -- 10 And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. 11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 12 And I will walk among you, and...

In Chapter One, the author introduces us to Step One in how to find her alleged King James Bible's BID: "Look at the word next to the word in question". Here are her other three steps -- Step Two: Look at the words in the verse Step Three: Look at the words in the next or preceding verse Step...

I've been trying to apply Step One when confronted with a 'difficult' word in the KJV these past few days. During the Sunday night service our pastor spoke from Luke 11 (v.8) -- I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will...

CHAPMEN 2 Chron. 9:14 | "chapmen and merchants" | OED | "a merchant" (Note:The word 'cheap' comes from this word) This another case where I had originally neglected to include the Riplinger Note. This note reflects the fact that the current British understanding of "chapman" would be a...

I just wanted to say that I have prayed concerning posting these comments about Riplinger's book and I felt assured that the Lord wanted these facts made public. It is my sincere desire that information provided in these posts help someone, now or in the near future. If they have been a help to...
