Subject: What does this verse mean? |
Bible Note: Sarah P, your reference to making a comparison of the Amplified Bible to the original Greek seems to be indicative of your being a seasoned scholar of New Testament Greek, for surely no less accomplishment would qualify one to render a valid opinion on such a matter. Chances are that you, inasmuch as you deem the Amplified not really a true translation but rather "someone's wrong interpretaton, are speaking of quite another translation when you say, "I take it word for word." Is the translation of which you speak as being worthy of being taken word for word your own translation, being the Greek scholar that you must be, or is it someone else's translation? Well, as they say, "Live and learn." For years I've been laboring under the delusion that the Amplified was rather a reliable translation. It had simply never dawned on me that I was reading someone's wrong interpretation. I guess I've been had. I wonder, do you suppose I can get my money back on this "wrong interpretation"? --Hank |
