Bible Note: Dear Brother Doc, not addicted to wine or pugnacious, but gentle, ... (1 Tim 3:3) This verse on my Chinese bible renders the idea that "addicted to wine" is the cause of pugnacious, which, if I rewrite it into English, it reads : Not to be trouble making for the cause of wine. When comparing the 2 tranlsations (English and Chinese), it seems to me that there is difference between them and the Chinese version could probably be mistranslated (but not sure since I know the Chinese version was translated base not only on the English version, but widely and mainly on German and Greek). I think it would be helpful to check on the Greek version. Shalom Azure |
