Subject: could raised from the dead be spiritual |
Bible Note: Hi Brother Doc, I think I could use your help, please, it just occurred to me that in Eph 2:5. there is a parenthetical insertion, as we find of course, plenty of instances of them being used in Scripture. This question posed itself: While reading along, I omitted the words in (parentheses), and it seemed to read better to me, and the parenthetical phrase seemed better perhaps, as a side-note, so was wondering if, the words of scripture found in parentheses, in general, are part of the original autograph? Now I know of course that, it is most common to read, words added, for, translation prepossess, in italics. But then, I seemed to remember that you had posted something about the proper understanding of (them) and their use, some time ago at SBF, but alas, it escapes me, and now I'm wondering if you could help me find that information? Thanks Doc. oh, in case I'm mistaken about what they are called, I'm talking about, these things ( ) .... :-) sorry, just one of those stones I trip on from time to time. Sorry too, if I may seem to harp on this a bit much, and many apologies for my redundancy, but something I missed as a youth, was, paying attention when some of these, fundamentals, of education were being given, and then, avoidance of the written word for much of my adult life! Not to worry though, I've learned to be a quick student,... Thanks to Him! :-) Funny what desire will do for a feller. God bless John p.s. I wasn't thinking of using this as a rule of thumb, (i.e. using parenthetical phrasing as a side-note) in my studying, unless it is proper, and, when their use is understood. So was interested in knowing what a proper understanding of their use, would be. |
