AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Timothy 3:2 Now an overseer must be blameless and beyond reproach, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, sensible, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, |
Subject: Why use the ambiguous word "Temperate"? |
Bible Note: I have asked the same question myself. Those nasty translators can use some of the most unfitting words. Maybe at the time that the translation was written the words weren't so obscure. I wonder. I guress we have to remember that we are reading a translation that was written in the English of the 1600's from a language of Greek translated from the Aramaic. I am sure glad that God has given us the Holy Spirit to instructed us. |
