Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Translation of the Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Romans: With an Introduction and Critical Notes It would, I think, be thus found that I have followed pretty closely the text of Alford. But it has appeared to me, for reasons that will be fully stated in the sequel of this Introduction, that with the exception of a very limited number of passages in the New Testament, the exact text is of much less importance, as respects the determination of the true sense of the original, than correct grammatical principles of translation combined with correct principles of interpretation. I propose therefore, to exhibit here as distinctly as possible the principles both of trans lation and interpretation (for the two things cannot be dissociated), on which the present translation has been made, especially where they have led to renderings of the Greek differing from those that have been hitherto admitted. The points that will come under discussion relate chie y to Me usage of Me Greek article, and to the translation of Greek teases, especially the aorz'sz' and the perfect. It will be proper to make the preliminary statement that I have all along carefully compared my translation both with the Authorized Ver sion and with the Revision of the Authorized Version by Five Clergy men, published in 1858; and that, consequently, when I do not agree with that Revision, it is either because I deliberately concluded that its deviations from the Authorized Version were needless or erroneous, or that corrections had not been made where they were required. These cases are taken into consideration, either expressly or implicitly, in the Notes. The numerous cases of accordance with the corrections of the Revisers have not often called for remark, the majority being such as would be generally agreed upon by biblical scholars of the present day.
