: Re: How to indicate that a single letter was removed from a quotation Suppose a source text says: 1 Timothy 2:4 says that God desires all people to be saved. Now suppose I want to quote

In this example, just move the word in question outside the quotation marks:

It's more difficult in the case that the word in question is buried in the quote. In that case, you would probably just put the entire word itself in brackets.
