Bible Note: Hi Kalos, My academic credentials are that I gained a college degree. I gained that degree because I was able to read books. Hopefully, you do not require every person that expresses an opinion to be a Greek scholar. Here is what I read and is the basis for my opinion about "contrains". Strong's #315, anagkazo; from 318; to necessitate, compel:--compel(3), compelled(2), force(1), forced(1), made(2). See Acts 26:11. Strong's #4912, sunecho; from 4862 and 2192; to hold together, to hold fast..." 2 Corinthians 5:14, "For the love of Christ "sunechei" us..." I hope this is helpful for you. From the heart, Ray |
