1 | I have a related question for anyone... | Acts 8:13 | Ray | 69691 | ||
Hi Tim, Thank you for setting me straight on that. So now in my personal study, I have made some changes which lead me to another question. In Titus 1:9 can I translate it, "holding fast His faithful word"? I think that I can do that as God's faithful steward, verse 7. I think that even though the verses in between talk of the steward, I look at the word of God as talking foremost of God. So again, I think that being God's steward and holding fast His faithful word are connected. Similarly, in response to your question about what Paul was saying in the first verses; I would rather look at what they are saying about God. I believe that the verses are saying that His Word is the Eternal Life that the Jews have been promised from ages ago. I contrast it with Isaiah 63:16. "Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name". NKJ rendering. From the heart, Ray |

Greetings Ray! Titus 1:9 literally reads: "holding fast the according to the teaching faithful word, that he may be able to both encourage with the teaching the sound and those who oppose to refute." I agree with your understanding, but I would not translate it as 'His faithful word'. The article is just a plain article, not a pronoun. Well, I have to run! I've got paying work to do! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hi Tim, Thank you. If that is the case I will have to go with "the Word". From the heart, Ray |
