Here is an interesting Greek textual variant in Revelation 15:6, "and out of the temple came the seven angels who had the seven plagues, dressed in clean bright linen and gird around the chest with golden sashes." Some major manuscripts read "stone" instead of linen, λιθον instead of λινον. The Tyndale House GNT even has a diamond with the λιθον reading.
The "anointed cherub who covers" in Ezekiel 28:13, also known as Satan, was dressed in stones. Oecumenius comments that the lower ranking angels were dressed in linen and the higher angels in stones of increasing value. (Note that Oecumenius says for Romans 13:14, "Put ye on our STONE, Jesus Christ"! So maybe he had a stone-dress obsession.)
The reading λιθον is certainly the more difficult. And the word λινον here is found with rather varying accents and grammatical cases. Furthermore, the other instances of linen in Revelation are the word βυσσινος (18:12,16; 19:8,8,14), and in the gospels, σινδων (Mt 27:59; Mk 14:51,52; 15:46,46; Lk 2:53) and not λινον. The word λινον is used once in the gospels, but for "wick," as in "a smoldering wick he will not snuff out."

This is one of the most difficult variants for me to decide. The NA28 has [ημων] in square brackets and for good reason. Family 052 is split 3 ways. The TR editions are split 3 ways. The Latin, Syriac and Coptic versions are split.
Even though I highly esteem MSS A and 2846, I decided to go with the RP/TH reading with ημων not in square brackets, for 3 reasons.
1.) The phrase κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ without ημων, as found here in A 2846 and the KJV, is also in 4:8, 11:17, 15:3, 16:7, and 21:22. Since this phrase is common and familiar in the Apocalypse, scribes might tend to write it unconsciously automatically, rather than the phrase with ημων added.
2.) MS 1734 is almost always found backing the RP text, not as here. This makes me suspect that the MSS without ημων are random scattered ones that accidentally omitted it, and not according to their usual clusters.
3.) The general tendency of scribes to more often accidentally drop a small word rather than add one.
If not for the presence of these factors, I would be loathe not to go with the TR phrase, since it is in the famous Hallelujah chorus in G. F. Handel's oratorio The Messiah.

I think it's important for Christans to know how corrupt the financial and legal systems are. This is the movie "The Big Short." I highly recommend it; it is one of the best movies ever made.
