Excerpt from The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: After the Authorized Version; Newly Compared With the Original Greek, and Revised IT is necessary to premise a few words regarding the view with which this Revision of the Authorized Version has been undertaken. It seemed to the Reviser, and to some others, that the time was ripe for an effort to be made to publish the English New Testament in a form more consonant to the now ascertained ancient Greek text, and with corrections of inadequate renderings. This had been already done in the case of the Gospel of St. John, the Epistles to the Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians, by Five Cller'gymen, of whom the present Reviser was one. The fruit of their joint labours has been kindly placed by his colleagues at his disposal and those books appear, with the exception of a very few passages in which his own view differed from that of the majority, simply as a reprint from the former Revision.
