What exactly did I neuter? Did I misuse pas? (The answer is no, I did not.)This is ridiculous because it neuters the passage - especially verse 4-6. It also reads very poorly. None of the translations read like this. This technique can be applied nilly-willy to make any portion of the word of God of no effect.
Plus if the instances of all types refer to the same subject, that subject still cannot be whittled down to the elect because verse 2 constrains all types to include "all in authority" - like Nero and Herod. Maybe you can get rid of that argument by changing "all in authority" to "all types in authority".
Here's an idea, create a Milquetoast version of the NT that neuters or removes the sections you don't like - oh, wait the Danish Bible Society already did that.
