But he's right!!! And I'm not a fan of the "Amplified Bible". All those additions are basically commentary and not reliable as actual text.
Plus, The "Amplified" was done by a woman, and you can't trust these woman drivers! (it's a joke, folks)

That is not altogether true. The amplified uses ALL THE DEFINITIONS for the terms in the parentheses. They're not commentary.
Multiple English word equivalents to each key Hebrew and Greek word clarify and amplify meanings that may otherwise have been concealed by the traditional translation method.
