I just saw that some of the text is missing from the blog (namely some footnotes).

I will attempt to get the into the blog very soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good read.

SO...THE PREMISE IS THAT THE KJV, OR ITS WORDING IS Wrong?

WHAT ABOUT THE TRANSLATION FROM THE KJV BEING WRONG? IS THAT POSSIBLE?

I don't see how the KJV is in error in this verse????

That's right, Beloved. I believe Votive read it wrong!

Hi, Fellas

Try reading it now, the fixed version with the footnotes in place and see if that answers your concerns. If not, then I will try to address them when I can.

Do note, however, that I said the translation was misleading, not flat out WRONG.

Until then, take a look at 1 Timothy 4:1-2 in the NIV here:

Or the NRSV, here:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage...2&version=NRSV

The difference may seem subtle, between these two (for example) and how the KJV reads, but it's there. And, I might add, the NIV and NRSV more accurately reflect the meaning of the underlying Greek (moreso than the KJV does in this passage).
