Abram shall be Abraham I am the Christ , ' * referring to the signification of the word Abraham , the father of many nations . The translation of John xvii .
3 . we deem exceptionable ; " that they may know thee to be the only true God , and Jesus thy messenger to be the Christ / ' If the general plan of rendering be
justifiable , we decidedly prefer , 44 Jesus whom thou hast sent . " Newcome says " these words ( Jesus Christ ) seem to be a gloss ;" and though we have expressed
our hostility agaiast critical conjecture , we must-confess that we should be well pleased to see evidence that they were added by some transcriber as an explanation . However there is no such
evidence that we know of ; and we must take things as we find them . Now , though the sens § of the rendering in the I . V * is very distinct and satisfactory , we want authority fpr the separation of Ir ^ ovv % 2 is ~ ovm If the article had been inserted between , as in
Acts v . 42 . ( notwithstanding the strong assertions of Mr . Middleton on John xvii . 3 . ) we should have considered it as justifiable ;
as it at present stands , we think the Primate ' s version preferable . —Perhaps it is desirable to inform the reader , that the words to be in " the first clause , should have
been in italics as well as those in the second . In Acts iii . 13 , 26 . iv . 27 , 30 . we find the word servant introduced from Newcome r s margin , instead of son . In this change

vii . 7 . viii . 51 , 54 . ix . 42 . xii . 45 . xv . 2 ( 5 . Acts xx . 12 . in all of which the word signifies either servant ot ; young person . Some of our readers may be glad to see the rest of the passages enumerated , in which the
word is employed ; and jf they will examine them , they will be satisfied that it has no necessary con * nexion with the filial relation , but refers to the age or condition of the individual : they areas follows . Matt . ii . 16 . viii . 6 , 8 , 13 . xii . 18 . xiv . 2 . xvii . 18 .
xxi . 15 . John iv . 51 . The rendering of Acts ix . £ 4 . cc who are called by thy name " is we think justifiable as far as the words are concerned , and
necessary in reference to the maU terofjactm We should however have been glad to see some farther examination of this point in the note on the passage .
The proper rendering of Ron * , ix . 5 . will be regarded as doubtful , so long as it is believed that Paul would apply the appellation ci God over all blessed for ever " to the " Mediator between God
