Prefer

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