WK Translation Notes

a

Or, "a way of gain." The last clause of verse 5 found in the T. R. and KJV, "from such withdraw thyself", is rejected by all critics as destitute of adequate authority. It seems to correspond with the last clause of {vi 29859}{/vi}, which is unquestionably genuine, though not exactly the same terms.
