 “Redeemed us to God,” “made us” and “we shall reign” should read, “Redeemed to God,” “made them”and “they shall reign.” The glorified saints are here singing praises to the Lamb who had been slain and who had bought the suffering remnant that will be slain and eventually reign with the heavenly saints over the earth (ch. 20:45 JND).

a
In the RV it is "sing," not "sung."
b
"Purchase" (as in the KJV) is right, not "redeem." See note to {vi 30502}{/vi}.

The true readings of verses 9 and 10 are unusually hard to be decided. I am of opinion that both external and internal evidence would lead a competent judge to the conclusion that the word "us" should be absent from the ninth verse. It would seem probable that copyists inserted "us" there. It is the worth of the Buyer, and consequently the value of the price paid, that is celebrated, not the liberated state of the redeemed. Hence in the text "us" is not found—an omission as hard to account for, unless it be the truth, as it is easy to understand its insertion in all the other witnesses. See also note to 5:10.
