Subject: How far would you go in a translation? |
Bible Note: Greetings Ray! I'm not sure where you're going! Here is the literal: "And she will bear a Son, and you will call His name Jesus, for He (Himself) will save His people from their sins." 'He (Himself)' in this verse is 'autos', which can be translated 'Himself' - though it is usually unnecessary. The "He" in English is usually sufficient. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
