Colwell’s apparatus was taken from the Book, “What is the Best New Testament” by E.C. Colwell, University of Chicage Press

1 Cor 14-25- “The secrets of his heart are revealed, and then, throwing himself on his face, he will worship God, and declare ‘God is indeed among you!’” (1Co 14:25 twenty)

Col 2-18- “Do not let any one defraud you of the reality by affecting delight in so-called ‘humility’ and angel-worship. Such a man busies himself with his visions, and without reason is rendered conceited by his merely human intellect.” (Col 2:18 twenty)
