Subject: what is the scripture Paul quotes here? |
Bible Note: This Greek "Nestle-Aland" NT tells us; Acts 17:28 "Aratus, Phaenomena 5" Titus 1:12 "Epimenides, de oraculis" "..uninspired..", don't know about that, our God is so powerful He can use "the heathen" to do His will - take for an example Cyrus in the book of Ezra. However no mention of the quotation on Ephesians 5:14 - that's why I asked if someone knows. And I myself doubt it's from a song, as it is greek "legei" ("tell") - not "sing". |
