Bible Question (short): accuracy of copying/translating |
Question (full): Thanks Tim for your answer, Please execuse my language as I am not a native English Speaker. I did a search all of the day regarding this issue, but didn't find an explanation, exept the one that you stated: "some copyists have expanded the shorter reading to make it harmonize with Mt. 5:32" But deep in mind I am not convinced with this answer, especially when I found that this part is not in the Interlinear translation of the Bible....Which leads me to another issue : Those who added this part - aren't they "guilty" somehow by adding a clause like this only to make the verse similar to Mt. 5:32 ? Isn't our Bible the word of GOD and each word, not a complete clause must be translated/copied with the highest degree of accuracy? If you have a link/reference regarding this issue please post it ... Thanks again for Reading and for your time Amgad |
