Textus Receptus vs. Nestle Aland - Hebraic

Introduction. Compares the Textus Receptus used in the Nestle Aland/United Bible Society Text.

Hebrews.

Verse Nestle Aland Textus Receptus Notes
Heb. 1:3   TR teaches that Jesus purged our sins "by himself."  
Heb. 2:7   TR includes, "And didst set Him over the works of thy hands."  
Heb. 3:6   TR includes, "firm unto the end".  
Heb. 7:21   TR includes, "after the order of Melchisedec".  
Heb. 10:30   TR includes, "saith the Lord".  
Heb. 10:34   TR says our substance is in "heaven".  

James.

Verse Nestle Aland Textus Receptus Notes
James 2:20 "useless" TR says faith without works is "dead", not "useless".  
James 4:4 "adulteresses". "Ye adulterers and adulteresses",  

1 Peter.

Verse Nestle Aland Textus Receptus Notes
1 Peter 1:22   TR says Peter's audience purified their souls in obeying the truth "through the Spirit."  
1 Peter 2:2   TR Paul says to desire the sincere milk of the word, that "ye may grow thereby", not "ye may grow unto salvation". The Textus Receptus reading does not hint at a works-based salvation.  
1 Peter 4:1   TR says Christ suffered "for us."  
1 Peter 4:14   TR includes, "on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified."  
1 Peter 5:11   TR includes, "glory".  
1 Peter 5:14   TR includes "Jesus" in association with the title Christ.  

2 Peter.

Verse Nestle Aland Textus Receptus Notes
2 Peter 1:21   TR says "holy" men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.  
2 Peter 2:17   TR says the mist of darkness is reserved "for ever".  
2 Peter 3:2   TR the author of the epistle says "commandments of us (ημων) the apostles", not "commandments of your (υμων) apostles". The difference is just one Greek letter. The Textus Receptus reading supports apostolic authorship of the epistle, a point that is disputed among liberal scholars concerning 2 Peter.  

1 John.

Verse Nestle Aland Textus Receptus Notes
1 John 2:7   TR says the old commandment is the word which ye have heard "from the beginning".  
1 John 2:20   TR says "ye know all things", not "ye all know".  
1 John 3:5   TR says he was manifested to take away "our" sins.  
1 John 4:3   TR says a spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ "is come in the flesh" is not of God. Christian faith is rooted in the historical reality of Jesus Christ being a real person.  
1 John 5:7   TR includes the Trinitarian reading, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." This verse is called the Johannine Comma.  
1 John 5:13   TR includes, "And that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."  

Jude.

Verse Nestle Aland Textus Receptus Notes
Jude 1:25   TR refers to God as the only "wise" God.  

Revelation.

Verse Nestle Aland Textus Receptus Notes
Rev. 1:8   TR includes, "the beginning and the ending".  
Rev. 1:11   TR includes, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last."  
Rev. 5:14   TR includes, "him that liveth for ever and ever."  
Rev. 6:17   TR says the great day of "his" wrath is come, referring to God's wrath. The Nestle-Aland says, "their wrath", which does not make sense.  
Rev. 11:15   TR refers to "kingdoms", which makes sense because there are many kingdoms in the world now.  
Rev. 14:5   TR says the redeemed will be judged "before the throne of God".  
Rev. 16:17   TR refers to the temple "of heaven".  
Rev. 20:9   In TR fire comes down from "God out of" heaven  
Rev. 20:12   TR says the dead shall stand before "God."  
Rev. 21:24   TR says the nation of them "which are saved" shall walk in the light.  
Rev. 22:19   TR says "book of life", not "tree of life".
