Bible Question:
what is the oringinal word used for suffer and its most litteral translation |
Bible Answer: chas mo -- In answer to your question about the word "suffer" in 1 Timothy 2:12 (KJV): The Greek word is epitrepo - to turn to, entrust; hence, to permit, allow - to give or grant permission. The sense in which the KJV uses the word "suffer" in this and other passages of Scripture has largely faded from current English usage and is usually replaced by let, permit or allow. ..... The schoolboy of yore might say to a fair damsel, "Wilt thou suffer me to carry thy books, please?" Today he might be more apt to say, "Hey, good looking, how's about you carrying MY books?" :-) Language, you see, ain't the only thing that is a-changing! --Hank |
