Dear New Friend and Brother, Grant, some time ago I did a study on some
verses which wer elike this one, in the Tr and not in the Westcott-Hort
text, ect. I then compared them with the old Italic Text which is
differetnf rom Jerome's Latin text. To my suprise, I foudn that the
older Italic Text supported the TR and was a gianst the Westcott-Hort
and Jerome. Have you noted this verse in the old Italic Terxt? Debtor.
