Word placement and punctuation can change the intended meaning of scripture. Making comparative notes with the oldest available manuscripts can help us to dissect the scriptures for a better understanding of their original meaning. A study of the manuscripts for 1 Peter shows how key words like “elect” were moved at some point in history. A close look at the Greek grammar shows how certain words are connected and that punctuation in the English translation separate the words incorrectly.
