  4. Why Footnotes? • “The opening of Your words gives light, Imparting understanding to the simple.” (Ps. 119:130) • And when Philip ran up, he heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and said, Do you really know the things that you are reading? And he said, How could I unless someone guides me? … And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he announced Jesus as the gospel to him. (Acts 8:30-35)

  5. “And [Jesus] said to them, O foolish and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! … And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, He explained to them clearly in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.” (Luke 24:25-27)

  9. Features of RcV Footnotes • Holding on to the general principle of “Scriptures interprets itself.” One passage of Scripture must be clarified by other passages. (Martin Luther, Luther’s Works, 37:177) • Taking Christ and Church as central line • Stressing the revelation of the truth, the spiritual light, and the supply of life; 

  10. John 10:10-11 • The thief does not come except to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and may have it abundantly • I am the good Shepherd; the good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

  11. John 3:6 • That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

  12. Rev 1:4 • John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

  13. Conclusion • The RcV Bible footnotes stress the revelation of the truth, the spiritual light, and the supply of life. • These footnotes are a crystalization of divine revelations inherited from Christians before us, and also present a further, more advanced exposition of the Scripture according to the present truths.
