Bible Note: Greetings David! I'm getting read to sleep as well! I work third shift, so I sleep during the day! :-( I gather from one of your other posts that English is a second language for you! If so, you should be able to learn Greek fairly quickly. :-) Where did you get 'to man' in the Greek? Allow me to touch upon the translation you have listed here again. 1) The 'de' always occurs second in the sentence or clause. It can be 'and' or 'but'. 2) The 'sigao' is a third person, singular, imperative. They are normally translated as 'let him'. So, 'let him keep silent' would be the literal translation. 3) Where you seem to be messing up is the last clause, after 'church'. It should read: "...and let him speak TO HIMSELF and TO GOD". Finally, 'being precise' never offends me my friend! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
