Subject: How far would you go in a translation? |
Bible Note: Hi Tim, I am back at John 3:8. The Literal Translation for my Interlinear Greek-English copy has this rendering. "The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice; but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who has been generated from the Spirit." I wonder if you would comment on why translators chose the wind over the Spirit? Also, I want to make spirit lower case for John 3:5 since there is no "the" in the sentence. I have been comparing that verse with 1 John 5:5 with the use of "the" there. In other words, "water and spirit" and "water and blood". Thanks in advance. From the heart, Ray |
