I was wondering if you would mind sharing a Scriptural example of what you were referring to here in your quote.

I believe it stands for foot note. If you look on this link from blue letter bible, I think you will be able to see it.

Thanks James, that is a good example. So if the Hebrew is actually correct, and the various translations are correct (the ones you mentioned all agree with each other), then this consensus can be utilised in the translating of 1 Peter 3:15, even to the extent of deciding between mss if they differ in this verse.
Yes, I see now that your point is a great one. And so I am happy to continue to be a TR-Onlyist, and that the higher critics sure do not know what they so boldly talk about.

Essentially you have Scripture translating/validating Scripture.

The higher critics only have what can be referred to as an echo chamber of preconceived and perpetuated thought and processes which are flawed.

That's why words do matter when one does serious bible study because the message can be distorted if tweaking by paraphrases or preferences are in a translation and thankfully God has provided means within Scripture to test out doctrines, thoughts, and even variants.

I've always thought that's what Paul was talking about in 1 Cor 2:14-16 in comparing Scripture with Scripture because the same truth is woven through Scripture.

KJV 1 Peter 3:15 *But sanctify the Lord God* in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

NASB 1 Peter 3:15 *but [fn]sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts*, always being ready to make a [fn]defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and [fn]reverence;

Which one is right?

TR has Lord God, Alexandrian stream has Christ.

If you consult Ezek 36:23, which speaks to the same events Peter is declaring, the KJV and even the ESV and NASB all point to "Lord God", not Christ.

Ezek 36:23 And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, **saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.**

John,
Here's one of the problems.

Peter spoke on those words found in Isaiah as well.

I will leave it there for now so that you can address John's thoughts.
