SAMPLE OF BIBLE REVISION.

Dr. Judd, formerly of the Bible Union, and a salaried translator, is brought into the field of controversy respecting this institution by the answer of the Union to Dr. Maclay's pamphlet. He shows why he opposed the appointment of one Elder Shepard as assistant translator to Mr. Morton after the Elder had completed the translation of the Books first assigned to him which were accepted by the Union. Dr. Judd says:

I oppose the appointment of Eld. Shepard, because I believe he was wholly incompetent to translate the word of God. The following are some of his translations:

John 3:12 If I said to you the earthlies and you did not believe how if I say to you the heavenlies, will you believe? Phil. 2:10. That in the name of Jesus every knee should bend of heavenlies, and of earthlies, and of infernals. Eph. 2:6. Sit together among the heavenlies. Eph. 6:12. Struggled not against blood and flesh, but with the principalities, with the powers, with the worldly forces of the darkness of this age, with the spirituals of the badness in the heavenlies. Acts 4:24. Master, thou art the God who made the heaven and the land. Luke 2:29. Now, Master thou lettest thy servant depart in peace. 2 Peter 2:1. Destructive sects, denying even the Master who purchased them. Titus 2:9. Exhort bondmen to be obedient to their own masters. Col. 4:1. Lords, the just and the equal give to the servants. John 13:13. You title me the Teacher, and the Lord, and you designate well, for I am. Eph. 3:9 To me, who am less than the least of all the consecrated, was this very kindness granted to publish among the nations the incomprehensible wealth of the Anointed. Acts 3:19 Repent, therefore, and return in order to the obliterating of your sins. 2 Tim. 4:2 Announce the word; be on hand conveniently (and) inconveniently. Col. 3:10 You have put on the young man. Gal. 6:8—He who sows into the flesh, shall out of the flesh reap corruption. I Tim. 3:16 And, without controversy, the secret of piety is great. Eph. 4:11-13—Himself gave indeed the Apostles, and the Prophets, and the Evangelists, and the Shepherds and Teachers, for the adjusting of the consecrated, for a work of ministry, for building the body of the Anointed, until we, the whole, come into the oneness of the faith, and the thorough knowledge of the Son of God into a full-grown man into a measure of a statue of the full measure of the Anointed.
