Bible Question:
Thanks Tim. Since "mello" seems to have a primary meaning of "is about to", is it possible that when it is followed by a future infinite that it should be translated "is certainly about to" so that the above would read " .....that there is certainly about to be a resurrection of both ...... ? Thanks. Ausbarry |
Bible Answer: Greetings Ausbarry! I wouldn't translate it that way! The word isn't quite that wooden in meaning. It doesn't have a sense of immediacy (sp?) with the future infinitive. It can be translated that way in a couple of other constructions, but it can also be translated as 'why delay' or to indicate purpose in other constructions. It is actually a quite versatile word! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
