Transcriber’s Notes
The cover image was provided by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
The original text displayed the Authorized Version of Scripture on the left page and the author’s paraphrase on the facing right page. For the electronic formats, these two versions for each verse have been placed in two columns followed immediately by the corresponding commentary.
Punctuation has been standardized.
Most of the non-common abbreviations used to save space in printing have been expanded to the non-abbreviated form for easier reading.
The text may show quotations within quotations, all set off by similar quote marks. The inner quotations have been changed to alternate quote marks for improved readability.
This book has illustrated drop-caps at the start of each chapter. These illustrations may adversely affect the pronunciation of the word with screen-readers or not display properly in some handheld devices.
