reads here simply `Jesus'.  In Acts 24:24, however, where the A.V. reads

`Christ', the R.V. reads `Christ Jesus'.  These are the only occurrences in the

Acts and it will be seen that whether we retain Acts 19:4 or not, the only one

to use the title is either Paul himself, or Felix to Paul.

`Christ Jesus' is found in both versions in Romans 3:24; 8:1,2; 15:5; and

16:3.  There are six other occasions where the R.V. reads `Christ Jesus' instead

of `Jesus Christ', `Christ' and `Jesus Christ our Lord', namely Romans 6:3,11;

8:11,34 and 15:16,17.

In 1 Corinthians the title Christ Jesus occurs in 1:2,30; 4:15; 16:24; and

according to the R.V. in 1 Corinthians 1:4 in place of the title `Jesus Christ'.

In 2 Corinthians the title occurs but once and that in the R.V. of 2

Corinthians 1:1.

Galatians contains, according to the A.V., five references, but the R.V.

omits Galatians 6:15.  The remainder are 2:4; 3:26,28 and 4:14.  The R.V. adds,

2:16; 3:14; 5:6 and 24.

Ephesians has, according to the A.V., six occurrences, 1:1; 2:6,7,10,13;

3:21.  To which the R.V. adds 1:1 (the passage before us), 2:20; 3:1 and 6.

Philippians, according to the Revised Version, has eleven references, 1:1

(twice), 8,26; 2:5; 3:3,12,14; 4:7,19, and 21.

Colossians has but three, for the R.V. alters 1:28 to `Christ' and adds,

1:1, 1:4 and 4:12.

1 Thessalonians has but two, 2:14 and 5:18.

1 Timothy has nine occurrences, 1:14,15; 2:5; 3:13; 6:13 to which the R.V.

adds 1:1 (twice); 4:6 and 5:21.

2 Timothy has twelve occurrences, 1:1,2,9,13; 2:1,10; 3:12,15 to which the

R.V. adds 1:1,10; 2:3; and 4:1.

Titus has but one reference, R.V. 1:4.

Philemon.  In verse 6, where the A.V. reads `Christ Jesus' the R.V. reads

`Christ'.  Verses 1 and 9 are added by the R.V. and both versions read `Christ

Jesus' in verse 23.

Hebrews has but one reference in the A.V. that of 3:1.

This however is

changed in the R.V. to `Jesus'.

There remain but two other references, namely, 1 Peter 5:10 and 14 both of

which are altered in the R.V. to read `Christ'.

From this analysis two facts emerge that are of importance to us all.

No writer other than Paul uses the title.

The title does not occur in the epistle to the Hebrews.

The title does not occur in 2 Thessalonians, but as this is a corrective

of 1 Thessalonians where the title is found, and as both epistles can be
