Dearest Searcher, The info that you give about yourself in your profile is quite impressive! Since you are so apparently knowledgeable about the greek meaning of scriptures, will you please let me know what the following Scriptures mean in the greek?: "We have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us." -- 2 Cor 4:7 "...we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." - Romans 8:26 That last Scripture seems to imply that Almighty God can even understand the unuttered "groanings" of the Holy Spirit. But, I could be wrong... Thanks for your diligence! peace, prazn P.S. Do you adore your Savior? Have you ever experienced true intimacy with Him? |

Since you are so apparently knowledgeable about the greek meaning of scriptures, will you please let me know what the following Scriptures mean in the greek?" ...

The Greek says ecomen de; to;n qhsauro;n tou'ton ejn ojstrakivnoiß skeuvesin, ina hJ uJperbolh; th'ß dunavmewß h\/ tou' qeou' kai; mh; ejx hJmw'n: ... The context starts in verse 1.

"...we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." - Romans 8:26 ... The Greek says JWsauvtwß de; kai; to; pneu'ma sunantilambavnetai th'/ ajsqeneiva/ hJmw'n: to; ga;r tiv proseuxwvmeqa kaqo; dei' oujk oidamen, ajlla; aujto; to; pneu'ma uJperentugcavnei stenagmoi'ß ajlalhvtoiß: ... The context starts in verse 22. - whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now (vs 22), - we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body (vs 23) ... this is not about prayer You said " That last Scripture seems to imply that Almighty God can even understand the unuttered "groanings" of the Holy Spirit. But, I could be wrong..." ... You are correct, but this is what the Holy Spirit does ... not by our lips. I love, not just adore, my Savior. I have experienced true intimacy with Him. |
