What does Paul Pray For? (Hebrews 13:21)

Monday, October 7, 2024

One of the debates in translation work is whether there is meaning in the form of a sentence. If one word is an infinitive, for example, and the next is a participle, does it matter?

Those in the dynamic camp (NIV, NLT) tend towards answering, “No.” The question is how do I express the same meaning regardless of how I say it. So if the meaning of the Greek infinitive is best expressed with an English finite verb, so be it.

Greek Word of the Day

We can no longer assume that people trust their Bible and believe what it says about itself. People say that Genesis 1–11 reads more like a myth than history. The God of the Old Testament is a moral monster who commands genocide. Did the biblical writers get it right, or did they slant, massage, or even create the Bible we have today? How can you believe a Bible that’s full of internal contradictions with itself and external contradictions with science and history? Why should we believe the right books are in the Bible? Many books were left out, like the Gospel of Thomas.
