NASB | 2 Thessalonians 2:2 that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Thessalonians 2:2 not to be quickly unsettled or alarmed either by a [so-called prophetic revelation of a] spirit or a message or a letter [alleged to be] from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has [already] come. |
Bible Question (short): Do the Majority of Texts have "Christ"? |
Question (full): I have a Interlinear Bible by Jay P. Green, Sr. that has, in the Greek, "Day of Christ" for this verse. In researching the Majority Text Notes in the Appendix, the word "Christ" is found in 61-79 percent of all manuscripts. He considers this to be a distinct majority but not so strong as say some words that are in 80-100 percent of the available texts. In the context of the verse, I believe that the word "Lord" seems to be more accurate for the meaning, so why if the Greek word for "Christ" is found in the majority of manuscripts would the manuscripts that have the Greek word for "Lord" be used in most translations? If you look at the KJV, Thomas Nelson Pub., you will also find the word "Christ" used. |
