Bible Question:
Titus 1:8. In the list of what an Overseer must be the Greek text says "Holy" right after the word "just". The NASB the word "HOLY" is not there. I wanted to know what other versions either included the word "Holy" or left it out. Of the most commonly used and a few not so common versions my research was a little confusing. The KJV and the NASB left out "Holy", but the HCSB, ESV, NIV, and the 1611 KJV and the NKJV had the word "Holy. And to add to my wonder, the American Standard Version which the NASB is based on has the word "Holy'. But the KJV of 1778 and the NASB of 1960, and the Updated NASB does not have the word "Holy". I wonder if anyone has some idea as to why when the Greek has the word "Holy", yet some versions have left it out? If the Greek did not have the word "Holy" this would be understandable, but its there. |
Bible Answer: Justme, Hey. Good question. This isn't the normal greek word for holy. And it isn't the normal word Paul uses for holiness. So given that all words have a certain range of meaning, it can validly be translated into a few different english words. So I strongly suspect their motive in not using "holy," was to make it evident in english that this was a different word. Also, I have a set that compares greek words that convey similiar ideas side by side so that one can see what the distinct emphasis is in each word. If you are interested let me know and I'll see what the difference is between this word and the normal word for holiness, which is "hagios." Sorry, I don't know how to swap to greek font in this. Blessings, In Christ, Beja |
