Bible Note: Hello Steve, Yes, the more I study Greek and Hebrew the more I find that I don't know. However, I'm going to keep at it. Green's translation is very good, but it is also very literal and sometimes a very literal translation can give the wrong idea or not be very clear to the English reader. I ran in to that recently when I was working on 1 Cor. 16:2. English translations have the phrase "on the first day of the week." The Greek reads "one (or, first) on sabbaths." Unless one does some research on it and finds that "one on sabbaths" means "the day after the sabbath" (Vine's word studied) he can become confused. Anyway, thanks for the reply and keep studying.
