First, lets look at a passage that will become important to understanding these two verses. Lets say that the five original copies each had five copies made of them, all made by faithful scribes.

We have to assume that the original was a medium [= vulgate] text The longer texts were gradually shaken out: leads us to assume a medium text or vulgate in existence during the whole time of the hand-transmission of Homer, This consideration revives the view that the Homeric vulgate was in existence before the Alexandrian period [Such]. 1 Corinthians 11:8-10 (Berean Open Source Bible) My biggest gripe with the TR is that it includes the story of the woman caught in adultery, despite the text of the story itself proving that its not scripture. I dont think so. and The too lively satisfaction which I had displayed had aroused their suspicions as to the value of this manuscript. The differences between the two texts are many and important. Paul, just because the NKJV is more elegant in rendering lifeblood instead of blood or bloodshed instead of shed blood does not support the nonsensical argument that the NKJV deleted words.

Not only do Homers works have more manuscript evidence available than any other piece of classical literature (though far less than that available for the NT), but Homer also is represented by MSS from a wide chronological and geographical range, from the early papyri through the uncials and Byzantine-era minuscules. I admire the zeal textual scholars have in combing through myriads of manuscripts in an effort to better understand Gods word. Comments made on Psalm 12:7 are either intentionally or mistakenly deceptive and misleading. It is amazingly accurate and when there is a problem, the solution is well worth searching out from God. Without an agreement on that important ground, our talk will go nowhere. First, I couldnt find an article like this when I went looking so I figured Id have to do the research myself. Bengel himself was a conscientious scholar, though prone to fits of erratic exegesis, like his prediction, based on an idiosyncratic interpretation of chronological statements in the Book of Revelation, that Christ would return on 18th June 1836!

The two words textum and receptum were changed from the Latin accusative case (direct object) to the Latin nominative case (subject) to render it Textus Receptus.
