Phillips Vs. Phillips

I do not understand why, when J.B. Phillips is quoted, it is not from the 1972 Revised Edition.
For instance, Michael D. Marlowe quotes from the 1947 edition. BibleGateway quotes from the 1957 or 1960 versions.


Why not quote from the latest one that J.B. Phillips was responsible for?

As I said, I am not sure which earlier edition that BibleGateway uses. But I will supply snips from the one it uses and the 1972 edition. I will not be comprehensive. I will skip a number of items. But you will get the idea. I am partial to the 1972 edition.

I will list these snips with the designations of "old" and "72" respectively.

1 Cor.
6:15
Old : Have you realized the almost incredible fact
72 : Have you not realized

14:7
Old : if their notes all sound alike
72 : unless their notes have the proper intervals

2 Cor.
1:5
Old : Christ's suffering
72: Christ's immeasurable suffering

1:9
Old : we had this experience of coming to the end of our tether
72 : we had this sense of impending disaster

1:14
Old : we believe you have already understood the purpose of our lives
72 : I believe that you have partially understood me

1:23
Old : [blank]
72 : I would stake my life on it

1:24
Old : I am not responsible for your faith
72 : we are not trying to dominate you and your faith

2:16
Old : Who could think himself adequate for a responsibility like this?
72 : Who is fit for such a task?

To be continued later on.

 

Continuing in 1 Corinthians.

1:17
Old : that large class which trafficks in the Word of God
72 : that large number who corrupt the Word of God

3:1
Old : Is this going to be more self-advertisement in your eyes?
72 : Does this mean yet another production of credentials?

3:3
Old : in living men and women
72 : or human hearts

3:11

72 : is so much more glorious than the old and transient

4:1

72 : ministry

4:2
