Can someone give me the "real" history of Texus Receptus? I wonder what it is for one.I 've been a Christian for a day year.And yesterday, I repented (ie a year that I lied every time I said I was a Christian D:) I want to know What is the text received and what is its history.
Thank you and God bless you
Sorry for your loss of faith. This means that you repent? Not so important what we believe, because the truth is a single. We will be happy and free if God has priority in our lives as it deserves and requires.
Robert Estienne, or Stephanus, played an important role as a printer and publisher in the 16th century in Paris. Being a publisher, he saw the practical advantage of using a system of chapters and verses to see them at any time, and so he introduced this system as a Greco-Latin New Testament in 1551. Verse divisions were first made to the Hebrew Scriptures by Masoretes, but it was Stephanus' French Bible of 1553 has shown that the first current divisions of the whole Bible.
Textus Receptus. Stephanus has also published several editions of the Greek "New Testament". These are based primarily on the text of Erasmus, with corrections based on the 1522 and Polyglott Complutense 15 late cursive manuscripts of earlier centuries. Stephanus third edition "of his Greek text in 1550, became in effect the Textus Receptus (Latin for" received text ") which were based on other 16th century English and the King James Version of 1611.
