Here are 64 English Bible translations of Matthew 18:15. Of these, 53 adopt the “against you” idea that didn’t appear until the 4th or 5th Century AD in the Codex Washingtonianus. Earlier manuscripts lacked the “against you” idea, and spoke only of “If your brother sins…”, and not of “If your brother sins against you…”. The way it seems to me, the implications of this difference are huge. I’ll write about all that elsewhere, but the purpose of this page is simply to display the different English translations conveniently for your study.
The 11 renderings in blue font lack the insertion.
