HOLY BIBLE:  ANCIENT PATHS VERSION (APV)

REVELATION 22:14
"Wash His Robes" vs "Do His Commandments" in APV

In Revelation 22:14, some Bibles read, “Blessed are those who wash their robes...,” which is consistent with: Codex Sinaiticus, a Fourth-Century MS., Codex Alexandrinus, a Fifth-Century MS., the Latin Vulgate, the AEthiopic, the Armenian, and the Primasius. These Bibles include the NIV, the NASB, the RSV, and the ESV, etc.

Other Bibles read, “Blessed are those who do His commandments...,” which is consistent with: Codex Vaticanus, a fourth-Century MS., the Syriac Peshitta, and a latter Coptic MS.. These Bibles include the KJV, the NKJV, and the Tyndale Bible, etc..

While both readings have support from the ancient manuscripts, the second reading has more support. In the “Ante-Nicene Fathers,” which is subtitled, “The Writings of the Fathers Down to A.D. 325,” this Scripture was quoted by Tertullian in 208 A.D. and Cyprian in 251 A.D. Both quotes predate the earliest known manuscripts mentioned above, and read: “Blessed are those who do His commandments.” This is how it is rendered in this version.
