Primeiro o texto
Onde os leitores divergem
O resumo começa com o que a passagem diz e como suas partes se relacionam. Ele não presume que uma denominação já resolveu todas as questões. A dependência de uma tradição, teoria literária ou reconstrução histórica é claramente identificada.
O texto KJV aparece primeiro. As conclusões interpretativas são identificadas, e as diferenças surgem quando ajudam a explicar por que comunidades sérias nem sempre chegam à mesma resposta.
Livro da vida ou árvore da vida
Revelation 22:18-19. A KJV adverte que a parte de alguém pode ser tirada do “livro da vida”. A evidência grega mais antiga e ampla diz “árvore da vida”, o que também corresponde à árvore citada em Apocalipse 22:2 e 22:14. A diferença entrou na tradição grega impressa seguida pela KJV.
