Blemish:
"without blemish;" is always so rendered in the RV, Eph 1:4; 5:27; Phl 2:15; Col 1:22; Hbr 9:14; 1Pe 1:19; Jud 1:24; Rev 14:5. This meaning is to be preferred to the various AV renderings, "without blame," Eph 1:4, "unblameable," Col 1:22, "faultless," Jud 1:24, "without fault," Rev 14:5. The most authentic mss. have
