About the Author For some time Dr. Nevertheless he has done an English translation based on it. It is distinguished from all other groups by the high level of care with which it was copied (Dr. Pickering has felt that among the many hundreds of Greek manuscripts known to exist today, surely God would have preserved the original wording.
