Bible Note: Thank you, Pastor Tim, for the explanation. All I was seeing was that each verse began with "Theos" -- but maybe I didn't look at enough of them. I thought that the word "but" might simply be implied by context, or arise out of the grammar. One has to be so careful with the tools we have at our disposal, as they can give us the illusion of having a linguistic handle on a passage. Your help, as always, provides illumination in this respect that we might otherwise not have. Thanks again! |
