Colossians 1:22 change wording: "God has reconciled" to "he has reconciled" since "God" here is an interpretive insertion.
Also, "in the body of Christ's flesh" becomes "by his physical body,"
Also, "before himself. \v 23 This is providing that you" becomes as you see.
Colossians 1:18 change wording from "He is the originating authority, the firstborn from of the dead ones, so he has first place among all things." to what you see now. This is closer to the Greek. The phrase "originating authority" is interpretive and not literal.
Colossians 1:5 original wording: "You first heard about this confident expectation in the word of truth, the gospel." This fits the Greek better specifically the aorist.
Luke 2:10 replaced the phrasing, "because I am about to announce to you good news" with what you see. Also the note in the chunk. I included "the good news" because the "good news" New Testament for "the Gospel."
Luke 2:1 delete "Roman" since this is an interpretive insertion and not in the Greek. We are sticking to the original for the sake of MTTs. The UDB and the notes adequately explain the sense. The notes needed to be changed also.
While editing sentence structure in the previous edit, a problem with
the levels of quotation marks seemed to be there. I went back to the
start of chapter and wound up making some edits of quotation mark levels
in these verses.
