Joseph Smith's Revision to Hebrews 7:27 and the Personal Sinlessness of Jesus

Heb 7:27 in the KJV reads:

 

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s.

 

Joseph Smith’s revision of the Bible ensures that there is no chance one will think that the author of Hebrews is even hinting that Jesus offered a sacrifice for his own sin. The following is from New Testament Manuscript 2, Folio 4, p. 140:

 



 

And not as those high Priests who offered up sacrifice daily, first for the sins of the people their own sins, & then for the sins of the people[,]<;> for he needeth not offer sacrifice for his own sins, for he knew no sins; but for the sins of the people. & this he did once when he offered up himself.
