: The difference between "abides" and "will abide" is only one of accent. Since early Greek manuscripts did not mark accents, the two words were spelled the same. Thus the reading of the Latin vulgate and some Coptic manuscripts actually support the text reading. Because of the ambiguity of the tense of "abide," either a change from "is" to "will be" or a change from "will be" to "is" was possible. The reading chosen for the text seems to fit the context better.
