The New New Teslamen {.

English and American scholars
have been spending the past ten
wears in a revision of the New Tes-
lament, which is now published. II
is understood that it affects no doc
trines of the sects, but cures defects
of translation in the former editions.
The phrase Holy Spirit is used in
stead of Holy Ghost. Hades and
Gehenna, both formerly translated
SHE'LL" are now. respectively, Hades
and hell. In Thessal onians, iv, Is,
the old version reads: ave which
are alive shall not prevent them that
are asleep" Prevent now means to
hinder; il formerly meant, to go be-
fore. The new version says: "We
that are alive, that are left unto the
coming of the Lord, shall in no wise
precede them that are fallen asleep"
In Romans i, 13: "Now, | would
not have you ignorant, brethren,
that oftentimes, | purposed to come
unto you (but was let hitherto) that
might have some friend, &c"
"Let" is changed to "hinder," in the
new version, the other no longer
expressing the meaning of the pas
sagc.
Rev. Xxx, IA: "And death and hell
were cast into the lake of fire."
NEW.
"And death and hades were cast
into the lake Of fire."
Matt. Xxx, %: But to sit on My
right hand and on My left, is not
mine to give, but Il shall be giUen TO
them, for whom it is prepared of
Ny Father"
"But to sit on my right hand and
on my left hand is not mine to give,
but il is for them for whom it hath
been prepared of my Father"
In | John chap. 5, the seventh
verse, reading as follows, is omit
ted: "For there are three that bear
record in heaven, the Father, the
Word aud the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one" "The genu-
ineness of the latter part of this
verse, and the first clause of the
next" says commentator, ''it is
well known has divided the opin-
ions of the learned men for nearly
four centuries" aud the translators
regard it as spurious.
In Hebrews, the well known first
verse of the eleventh chapter, "Now
faith is the substance of things hoped
for, the evidence of things not seen,"
is changed to read, "NOw faith is
the assurance of things hoped for,
the proving of things not seen.'
In the thirteenth chapter Of 1st
Corinthians, the word "love" is sub
stituted for charity" the passage
opening in the new version thus:
"If | speak with the tongue of men
and of angels, but have not love, |
am become sounding brass, or a
changing cymbal," and closing, "but
now abideth faith, hope, love, these
three; and the greatest of these is
love-"
The first two verses of chapter v,
III Corinthians appear thus: "For
we know that if the earthly house
of our tabernacle be dissolved, we
have a building from God, house
not made with hands, eternal in the
heavens. For verify in this We
groan, longing to be clothed upon
with our habitation which is from
heaven"
In the fourth chapter of John the
9th verse reads, "And upon this
came his disciples, and marvelled
that he talked with the woman"
The new version has it "and mar
yelled that he talked with woman"
the idea being that it was rather
beneath dignity to hold conversa-
tion with a woman.
Chap. vii, verse IL reads, "If any
man willeth to do his will, he shall
know of the teaching whether it be
of God, or whether | speak from
myself"
The words "For thine is the king
dom, and the power, and the glory
forever, amen," are expunged from
the text, as not being found in any
