Same thing Grudem does, start with English and read it into the text.
We need to get more Greek experts into this, who are not prejudiced. This was Bushnell’s lament over 60 years ago, that those who control translation and dictionaries have gotten away with murder all these years. They rely on the ignorance of the masses and forbid any to question them. At least most of our opponents aren’t Greek experts either, so we’re all in the same boat, gleaning what we can from available sources.
We are at a decided disadvantage due to the outdated dictionaries and biased commentaries, since those are the “authorities” people look to when deciding who is to be believed. Even the UBS texts have not been free of tampering, as in the case of the name Junia. So we need scholars to come forward and correct these foundational authorities and put an end to this uneven playing field.
