Excerpt from Companion to the Revised Version of the English New Testament The object of this little work is to explain to the English reader the general grounds of those many departures from the Authorised Version which he will find in the Revised translation. Not one of these alterations has been made without what appeared to a majority of the Revisers an adequate reason. They are all to be traced to one or other of two causes - either to a change of the Greek text which it was found necessary to adopt, or to a change of translation which stricter fidelity to the original seemed to require. Under these two heads, all necessary explanations (so far as space permitted), will be found in the following pages. For the sake of those who are acquainted with the original, the Greek words referred to have been sometimes given at the bottom of the page, but the text will be perfectly intelligible without these to the English reader. It is scarcely needful to add that for what is here written the author alone is responsible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
