Subject: EIS_ retrospective or prospective? |
Bible Note: Searcher, I agree the word denotes 'purpose' and not 'cause'. The English 'for' is not the best choice of words for translating the Greek EIS because 'for' can be used prospectively and retrospectively. But the Greek word is only retrospective. There are other Greek prepositions that would be used if 'Because' was the intended idea. Thanks for the feedback. Disciplerami |
