I seek no royalities, but if a book publisher wished to reduce this work to a hard copy form for others, they can charge such profit for their work as they deem appropriate for their work. They just need to know in advance that all other publishers have that same right. And the PDF and Word formatted copies of this book remain available free of charge to all on the internet. The Word format has the unique ability when downloaded to allow the student reader to save one copy and make a second copy of their personal development. They can they insert into that second copy commentary between the various formatted sections, or rearrange those sections, or substitute their preferred biblical translation for the WEB text.

A hard copy of this copy, without the Greek text, with slightly different pagination (the table of contents being unnumbered causes the different pagination) is available in soft cover or in e-book format through:
