Bible Question:
your response outlines in more detail my question. Using this site's online resourse, porneia is the word translate here in NASB as immorality. However, in my hard copy NASB Hebrew-Greek Keyword Study Bible, the number by "immorality" is 265, corresponding to hamartema, "sin." Hamartema is the same word used later in the verse to refer to "every other sin." One of these resources must have a misprint as to what the original Greek word is, do you know which it is? Also, in 7:2, it uses (this time, porneia, the correct word for sexual sin) just "immoralities" in the NASB instead of sexual immoralities, as other versions use. I feel that this is a strong point Paul was trying to get across, and the designation of sexual versus all immorality seems important to the lession. The whole point seems to be keeping the body holy for God, so it's important to know what is sinning against the body. It is especially confusing because of the references beginning at 6:12 about food and the body. obviously, the ideal is not to sin at all, but for the purpose of studying this passage please help me clarify what I am reading. |
Bible Answer: Joe NASB Hebrew Greek dictionary lists 265 as from Greek 264 (, ); a sin:— sin(2), sins(2). Your right my NASB Hebrew Greek Study Bible does list this word as 265. But I know both the Strong's and NASB lists this word as 4202. My Greek English Interlinear also lists it as 4202. I also have a software program Logos/Libronix that builds an interlinear and references the books it uses to build it and it came up with 4202 using Strong's, Vine's and the NASB dictionary. I would conclude the word should be 4202 and your Hebrew Greek Study Bible has a misprint. My guess old Spiros missed one here. ::-) EdB |
