Rev 5:10b variant is interesting. "they reign" vs "they will reign".

1 Cor 4:8 - χωρὶς ἡμῶν ἐβασιλεύσατε ?

From the Expositor's GT:

"only wish you had!” so he continues in the words καὶ ὄφελόν γε κ.τ.λ., “Ay, I would indeed that you had entered the kingdom, that we too might share it with you!” It is Paul’s sigh for the end.—Βασιλεύω (see parls.) can only relate to the βασιλεία Θεοῦ, the Messianic reign (1 Corinthians 4:20, 1 Corinthians 6:9 f., 1 Corinthians 15:50; N.T. passim; cf. Luke 22:28 ff; Luke 6:2 f. below; the judicial assumptions of the Cor[712], in 3 ff., square with this); and the aor[713] in vbs. of “state” is inceptive (Br. § 41)—not “you reigned,” but “became kings” (ἐβασιλεύσατε). This, of course, can only come about when Christ returns (see 1 Corinthians 1:7; 1 Corinthians 1:9, and notes); then His saints will share His glory (2 Timothy 2:10).

Notice these comments on Rev. 5:10. See page 148:

It just goes to show how the internet can be used to rewrite history. Regarding the Tyndale Bible please see this video about a facsimile reproduction of the original Bible that just happens to show the first chapter of GJohn. Masculine or neuter?
