<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG><U>Revelation 1:11</U></STRONG>: "Saying: 'What you
see write in a scroll and send it to the sven congregations, in Ephesus and in
Smyrna and in Pergamum and in Thyatira and in Sardis and in Philadelphia and in
Laodicea."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But according to other translation, although varying in the
previous rendering, they add in the beginning of the scripture "I am Alpha and
Omega, the first and the last."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>My question: "What is the <U>basis for the addition </U>or
what is the <U>basis for the removal </U>as many translations have
done?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The Latin Vulgate of Jerome interestingly does not include "I
am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What is possibility an addition to the text of Revelation
intended to clarify the identificaion of the Alpha and Omega or something to
that effect?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Should we leave it out when translating due what some have
called "its spurious nature?"</FONT></DIV>
