And since you ask the Moderator for more specific feedback ...which wasn't forthcoming ... I thought that, at least, it might facilitate the topic discussion (not much discussion!) by, also, including some more of what Paulos has to say on this matter ... Sorry, it's just my own reading ... not...

Thought you might find this interesting ... a layman's reading of those verses from Corinthians. The asterisks indicate that there are source text differences, which I will, also, include below. If you have any questions about why my reading differs, somewhat from yours (and others), I'd be...

>(Robin) Ahh, by your above choice of word "πράξας" {4238, praxas, V-AAP-NSM) I see that you are a follower of Westcott and Hort (WH) ... (Radagast) I'm not using "Westcott and Hort," I'm using a more recent Greek text. (Robin) Actually, considering the confusing mismatch, you are not using...

5:1 holOs akouetai en humin inappropriate contenteia kai toiautE inappropriate contenteia hEtis oude en tois ethnesin onomazetai hOste gunaika tina tou patros echein (Minister Monardo) CLV Absolutely, it is heard that there is prostitution among you, and such prostitution (which is not even named among the nations), so that...

5:5* [that] to~the such~a [one] to beside-give unto~the Adversary for’ a~distruction of~the flesh, so-that the spirit should be saved, in with~the day of~the Lord Yeshua. (Hedrick) Well, it seems to have started out with concern about a specific person mentioned at the beginning of 5. (It's a...

(Radagast) As I said, in this case, it applies to the masculine subject of that verb: ὁ τὸ ἔργον τοῦτο πράξας ("him who this thing has done"). That clause is masculine because it's headed by ὁ. (Robin) Ahh, by your above choice of word "πράξας" {4238, praxas, V-AAP-NSM) I see that you are a...

A friendly sort, aren't you ... (Radagast) "If all versions agree, they're usually right" (Robin) ... Perhaps, perhaps not ... Franklly, I've found that even with this verse, that almost none of them all agree on the reading as a whole, so my hyperbola is no more far fetched than yours ...

Today I ran into another tricky verse ...1Cor 5:2 ... where all versions read it as ....."out amidst of you" ... But actually, the Greek word ..."mesou"... is neuter ...of~amidst~a [thing] {3319 A-GSN} so I really don't think that the following pronoun ...of~you {1473 P-2GP} ... can be thought...

Nope!

(Robin) Good morning James ... I'll have to look that saying up; the one about "under your skin" ... Me, I get into the marrow, just a little deeper. (Sophie) I have a saying for you, Robin ... (Robin) Ahhh, Philippians ... let's see what James has given us, today. 2:13* for the God, He be...

(Robin) That was more than just one ... "scripture of the day" ... So I'll add another: 2:3* To~no[t]-yet-a-one [thing] according-to a~vexation or an~empty-glory, but to~one-another, yourselves~deeming with~the humble-disposition, over-holding of~yourselves; The participle "hEgoumenoi"...

James ... James...James Haven't you been telling me, all along, that my mechanical methods of getting to the marrow of the scriptural bones wasn't necessary, because the spirit would surely keep us on track ... that is, which translation one uses (take the Message ... Please!) [Old joke about...

Did we go off on another question then ... That is, have we moved on to another phrase in this verse ... that of to be persuaded no[t] with~the truth? as compared with you should not obey the truth? If that the current question, then I can tell you right now ... the NKJV (if it says in...

(James) 3:1. O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? NKJV (Robin) 3:1* Oh, uncomprehending Galatians! What~a [one] to~you, he had bewitched to be persuaded no[t] with~the...
