Dear New Friend and Brother, Grant, some time ago I did a study on some
verses which wer elike this one, in the Tr and not in the Westcott-Hort
text, ect.&nbsp; I then compared them with the old Italic Text which is
differetnf rom Jerome's Latin text. To my suprise, I foudn that the older
Italic Text supported the TR and was a gianst the Westcott-Hort and Jerome.&nbsp;
Have you noted this verse in the old Italic Terxt?&nbsp; Debtor.

text of Revelation intended to clarify the identificaion of the Alpha and

it out when translating due what some have called "its spurious nature?"</font>&nbsp;<font size=-1>Cordially</font>&nbsp;<font size=-1>Grant
