prḗ - fur ´: Does not always have the general meaning "to choose before another." In Psalm 137:6 , it does have this sense and the two versions agree; in Esther 2:9 , the Revised Version (British and American) has "removed" where the King James Version has "preferred"; in Daniel 6:3 , "distinguished" takes its place; in John 1:15 , John 1:30 , "become" is substituted for "preferred"; in John 1:27 , "preferred" drops out entirely; in Romans 12:10 , the versions agree.
