This post is the last in my survey of changes between the 2001 and 2007 editions of the English Standard Version. As always discussion and further analysis is encouraged in the comments. These posts will serve as partial material for a more formal review of the 2007 edition of the ESV that I will post in the upcoming weeks.

The verses below are from the General Epistles and Revelation.
