Bible Question: Why is does it translated "if", not "since"? It is the proper translation of the word.

Is there a translation that says "since"?

Bible Answer: I did a quick search on Strongs #1487 (Greek ei i) and found 292 occurances. Not even once did I see the translation "since". Do you know of a verse where "ei i" is translated "since"? To me, it just doesn't make good "sense" to make "if" "since" here.

In Christ Jesus, retxar
