KFLCC / New Age Bible Versions - Gail Riplinger

EARLIEST MANUSCRIPTS KJV, P72 and the new Nestle's have "oversight." Yet the NASB omits this because, as Comfort notes, "[T]hey had the misconception that elders could not function as overseers. At that time [and now in the Roman Catholic and other liberal churches] the offices of elder and overseer (i.e., bishop) were differentiated. The overseer or bishop had been elevated to a rank above elder— though this deviates from the situation in the N.T. in which overseers and elders were two functions of the same individual (Titus 1:5, 7)." P72, Nestle's 26 and KJV have "chains," yet all new versions follow the outdated "pits" of Aleph and B. Nestle's 26 moved to KJV readings.
