Textus Receptus Bibles

English Majority Text Version 2009

New Testament

 

   

16:1Now concerning the collection which is for the saints, as I directed to the churches of Galatia, so you must do also:
16:2On the first day of the week let each one of you put [something] aside, storing up whatever he may prosper, in order that there be no collections when I come.
16:3But when I arrive, [those] whom ever you approve by letters, these I will send to carry your gracious gift to Jerusalem.
16:4But if it is fitting that I go also, they will go with me.
16:5Now I will come to you when I go through Macedonia (for I am coming through Macedonia).
16:6And perhaps I will remain, or even spend the winter with you, that you may send me on my journey, wherever I may go.
16:7For I do not wish to see you now in passing; but I hope to spend some time with you, if the Lord permits.
16:8But I will remain in Ephesus until Pentecost.
16:9For a great and effective door has been opened to me, and there[ are] many adversaries.
16:10Now if Timothy comes, see to it that he may be with you without fear; for he does the work of the Lord, as I also [do].
16:11Therefore let no one despise him. But send him away in peace, that he may come to me; for I am waiting for him with the brothers.
16:12Now concerning our brother Apollos, I strongly urged him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his will to come at this time; however, he will come whenever he has an opportunity.
16:13Watch, stand fast in the faith, be courageous, be strong.
16:14Let all that you do be done in love.
16:15I urge you, brothers (you know the household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints)
16:16that you also subject yourselves to such [people] and to everyone who works and labors with us.
16:17I rejoice over the coming of Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus, for what was lacking on your part they have supplied.
16:18For they refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore give recognition to such [men].
16:19The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you heartily in the Lord, together with the church that is in their house.
16:20All the brothers greet you. Greet one another with a holy kiss.
16:21The salutation with my own hand-Paul's.
16:22If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema. Marana tha!
16:23The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
16:24My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

PREFACE

Welcome to the third edition of The English Majority Text Version (EMTV) of the Holy Bible. This latest edition has Greek explanatory notes throughout the Bible, to aid the reader in understanding the meanings in some select places of the original Koine Greek. Also, the third edition finds itself closer to the Robinson/Pierpoint printed edition of the Byzantine majority text, rather than the Hodges/Farstad text, which the EMTV was translated from. You will notice these differences in John 7:53-8:11, as well as the entire book of Revelation.

The English Majority Text Version draws from the work of both Dr.’s Hodges and Farstad, and their text, “The Greek New Testament According to the Majority Text,” as well as from Dr. Wilbur Pickering, ThM. PhD., and the EMTV has incorporated his hard work in the field of producing evidence of just what does constitute a majority reading, and, as a result of his work, and the work of others, John 7:53-8:11, and the book of Revelation reflect these variant readings. This is one of the great things about having a Bible that is translated from the majority of the trustworthy Byzantine manuscripts that are in existence—the much greater probability of accuracy.

On the other side of the fence, most modern Bibles are translated from a few scant manuscripts (literally), and more often than not they do not even agree with each other. Not so with a Bible that is translated out of the majority! The experts in linguistics who have put these readings together, and diligently compared the manuscripts, had hundreds and hundreds of manuscripts to compare. It is my prayer that this work will bring honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to our God and Father; because all of this, all that we do, we do to know Him better, and to better understand His word, which He has given to mankind. “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. (Prove 30:5,6). Peace of Christ to you all. In His service, Paul W Esposito Stauros Ministries
