Editorial note
Where we add bold emphasis within a translation, that emphasis is editorial — it marks the contested phrase under discussion on each page and is not part of the original published translation. Where ellipses (...) appear, they indicate omitted material between cited clauses; the omitted text is never theologically load-bearing for the comparison shown.
Christos is an independent educational project. Citing a translation does not imply endorsement by the translation's publisher, nor does it imply that the publisher endorses any position presented on this site.
