Notes:
It seems likely that Forrest used the English Revised Version of 1881-1885 for his Bible texts, an important revision of the King James version. It was the first major revision of the King James version since 1769, and was widely accepted as the standard text in 1928, although some authorities had by that time adopted the American Revised Version of 1901. In a few places, Forrest refers to R. V. (for RV), which presumably designates the Revised Version rather than ASV, which would designate the American Standard Version.
