Thanks for a very clearly explained post Cheryl! I appreciate your careful explanation of the grammar and the way you have put it together. It makes it easy for a ‘b’ grade (probably ‘C’ if we are being honest!) Greek scholar to follow.

I am constantly amazed by the interpretation used in translation resulting in the huge difference iamongst translations as people ‘guess’ the meaning that makes sense to them. I remember my very first Greek class and another student sitting next to me asked if theology influences translation. He was given an answer by the lecturer that would have made a politician proud. It was not far into the lesson that he had cause to say to me, “So theology does influence our translation”!
