Greetings Ed! It is definitely a confusing situation simply because the TR is the only one which uses the abreviation 'chi xi stigma'. Here is what has happened. Strong packs a lot of information into a very small amount of space. The part in the () does not concern the letter 'stigma', but the word 'stigma'. The word 'stigma # 4742' is used in Gal. 6:17 where it refers to the marks of the Lord Jesus. These are known as the marks of the cross. What Strong is doing is commenting that the word 'stigma' has reference to the marks of the cross. The simple fact is that it is well known what the letter 'stigma' looked like. It looked like an upsided down or backward 5. If you want to see it, go to this web site: http://www.parthia.com/font_stigma.htm There are two sad parts to this whole discussion. 1) Casiv doesn't know Greek, but pretends to! 2) Strong's # 5516 is not important anyway, since only the TR uses it. I have yet to find a single manuscript, other than the TR, that uses the short form. Every other manuscript spells the words out. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim Your right I went back and dug up some of my old Greek text book Yech!!!!! I'm still working on English :-) The stigma refered to in Strong's 5516 was a mark that slaves and other bond servants and sometimes soldiers had placed on them. Casiv is way off base!!! Be Blessed sorry for my stupidity EdB |

Greetings Ed! No problem! It was not easy to track down! I didn't find it at first because I wasn't relying on Strong's. I kept reading the Greek text and I didn't have a clue what Casiv was talking about. Finally, I used my Bible program and went to the KJV, which is keyed to Strong's. There, I found a reference to two different Strong's numbers (1803 and 5516). From there, I went to the Textus Receptus! Finally, it dawned on me what had happened. Whew! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim Language was always my nemesis. I spent 2 years in Latin 1 and only got out after I cut a deal with the teacher to never take Latin 2. I then spent a 2 years in French and promised never to take French 3, the poor women cried with joy. We weren’t required to take Hebrew and Greek was exciting to say the least. I really think I understood it better before I took the class and I didn’t know anything then. Therefore I depend on the expertise of the NASB and NLT translators to keep be out of trouble. In this case they used different manuscripts and that made for disaster. Now I wonder if I can once again wedge this Greek text book back under the corner of my copier table to keep it from wobbling. :-) Be Blessed and be a Blessing EdB |
