RSV-CE vs. RSV-2CE (JOHN)

Just recently I completed the Gospel of John during my BIAY and while listening I have recorded the differences I noticed between RSV-CE and RSV-2CE. Might be useful to those who are curious about the changes made to the RSV-2CE.

Here is a summary of the differences between the RSV-CE and RSV-2CE translations of the Gospel of John based on the provided excerpts:

The most frequent difference between the RSV-CE and RSV-2CE in these excerpts is the use of second-person pronouns when addressing God or Jesus.

• The RSV-CE uses "thou, thee, thy, thine" [e.g., 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 23, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33].
• The RSV-2CE uses "you, your, yours" in these instances [e.g., 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 24, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34].

There are also other minor word choice differences:

• In John 21:18, "girded yourself and walked where you would" (RSV-CE) versus "fastened your own belt and walked where you would" (RSV-2CE), and "another will gird you and carry you" (RSV-CE) versus "another will fasten your belt for you and carry you" (RSV-2CE).

• In John 6:67, "Do you also wish to go away?" (RSV-CE) versus "Will you also go away?" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 6:15, "withdrew again to the mountain" (RSV-CE) versus "withdrew again to the hills" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 4:31, "besought him" (RSV-CE) versus "begged him" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 3:18 and 3:16, "only Son of God" (RSV-CE) versus "only-begotten Son of God" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 1:18 and 1:14, "only Son" (RSV-CE) versus "only-begotten Son" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 13:4 and 13:5, "girded himself with a towel" (RSV-CE) versus "tied a towel around himself" (RSV-2CE), and "towel with which he was girded" (RSV-CE) versus "towel that was tied around him" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 12:14 and 12:15, "young ass" and "ass's colt" (RSV-CE) versus "young donkey" and "donkey's colt" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 11:53, "counsel how to put him to death" (RSV-CE) versus "counsel about how to put him to death" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 8:14, "whence I have come and whither I am going" (RSV-CE) versus "where I have come from and where I am going" and "whence I come or whither I am going" versus "where I come from or where I am going" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 14:31, "Rise, let us go hence" (RSV-CE) versus "Rise, let us go from here" (RSV-2CE).
• In John 16:24, "Hitherto you have asked nothing" (RSV-CE) versus "Until now you have asked nothing" (RSV-2CE).
