Wakefield's Translation.

2 Tim. i, 10. "Jesus Christ, who hath destroyed death, and spread abroad the light of everlasting life by the gospel." ["Made clear"—Macknight.]

2 Tim. iii, 1-8. "Know this, that in late times" difficult seasons will present themselves; for Christians will become selfish, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, evil speakers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, irreconcilable, slanderers, intemperate, fierce, enemies to goodness, betrayers, rash, infatuated, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; keeping to a form of godliness, but having cast aside the power thereof."

Philemon 21. "Refresh my feelings in the Lord"—not bowels as in the standard text, and which sounds much better.

Heb. vii, 3. "Of whose father, mother, pedigree, birth, and death there is no account"—i. e. Melchisedec.
