25:31 “When 2 the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.
20:11 Then 7 I saw a large 8 white throne and the one who was seated on it; the earth and the heaven 9 fled 10 from his presence, and no place was found for them. 20:12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne. Then 11 books were opened, and another book was opened – the book of life. 12 So 13 the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to their deeds. 14 20:13 The 15 sea gave up the dead that were in it, and Death 16 and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each one was judged according to his deeds. 20:14 Then 17 Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death – the lake of fire. 20:15 If 18 anyone’s name 19 was not found written in the book of life, that person 20 was thrown into the lake of fire.

5 tc The reading ᾿Ασάφ (Asaf), a variant spelling on ᾿Ασά (Asa), is found in the earliest and most widespread witnesses (Ì1vid א B C [Dluc] Ë1,13 700 pc it co). Although Asaph was a psalmist and Asa was a king, it is doubtful that the author mistook one for the other since other ancient documents have variant spellings on the king’s name (such as “Asab,” “Asanos,” and “Asaph”). Thus the spelling ᾿Ασάφ that is almost surely found in the original of Matt 1:7-8 has been translated as “Asa” in keeping with the more common spelling of the king’s name.
6 tc ᾿Αμώς (Amws) is the reading found in the earliest and best witnesses (א B C [Dluc] γ δ θ Ë1 33 pc it sa bo), and as such is most likely original, but this is a variant spelling of the name ᾿Αμών (Amwn). The translation uses the more well-known spelling “Amon” found in the Hebrew MT and the majority of LXX
