Gal 6:2 and 6:5 – bearing burdens Gal 6:2 and 6:5 – bearing burdens I’m considering the famously terse 2 Cor 5:17a:hWSTE EI TIS EN CRISTW KAINH KTISISwith the help, as it turns out, of my _Precise Parallel NT_ (about whichthere was some discussion on this list a little while ago). Most of thetranslations add both a form of the verb “to be” and a “he is” or “there is”to the phrase:…if any man be in Christ he is a new creature…(KJV)…if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation… (NIV)…if anyone is in Christ there is a new creation… ((NRSV)…whoever is in Christ is a new creation… (NAB)and so forth. The Rheims NT, though, offers this translation:If then any be in Christ a new creature,…making the whole thing the protasis of a statement that will be completed by…the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new.In its favor, this translation requires the addition of fewer elements tomake sense. Against it, it seems to assume an argument that the text hasn’tmade (that in Christ one is a new creature), whereas the other translationshave this assertion being made in this verse.Any ideas?–Sandra Hack Polaski*********************************************Sandra Hack Polaski shpolaski at btsr.eduAssociate Professor of New TestamentBaptist Theological Seminary at Richmond

The [Douay]-Rheims translation was made fromthe Vulgate. Interestingly, the Latin here is far looser than the NT usuallyexhibits: I suppose QUA ERGO attempts to approximate the hWSTE, indicatingresult. But there is nothing in the Latin corresponding to the Greek TIS,which may validate the Rheims translation. Indeed, that is a perfectlyacceptable way of construing the Latin.In any event, I don’t the Rheims translation can be relied on forunderstanding the Greek, at least in 2 Cor 5:17.Mark DelCogliano

Any previous blogs on > this subject?> Thanks if this ‘makes it’ to the question forum.Note that it is in parentheses, not in brackets, which latter might seem to indicate some question about reliability of the Greek text being translated. I think the parentheses here simply mean that the editors understood this sentence as an explanatory note about the proposition just stated previous to this. The verse in question is certainly present in the TR, from which KJV translated.Carl W. ConradDepartment of Classics, Washington University (Retired)

Perfect outside the indicative Perfect outside the indicative I would want some ideas for this verse:It is very important to read the words KAINE PTISIS like “new creation”instead new person or new creature inside. The most popular versions of theEnglish bibles and in the Spanish, empathize this words en relation to theperson. Concretely, this verse is not for evangelism.The context is describing about the relation between the peoples form the 1Cor 5: 1-13. The new relation between people en Jesus Christ is now in a newcreation. The correct translation of the KAINE PTISIS is in the Gal. 6:15.I would want to say and give more arguments. Thank’s very much. I do not know write English very well. Excuse me. (Gracias a J. Stamm por las observaciones de mi inglés.

Certainly there isnothing in our rules that says English is the only permissible language ofdiscussion.I am not altogether clear on what you are trying to argue above, and that’swhy I suggest that perhaps you should go on and write in Spanish. I think Isee the sense for KAINH KTISIS that you are arguing FOR, but I can’t quitefigure out what interpretation of it that you are arguing AGAINST.My own understanding of the phrase in 2 Cor 5:17 is that transformation ofthe individual believer begins with faith’s inception and the believer’sincorporation through baptism into the believing community, the “body” ofChrist, and that from this point the believer lives simultaneously in theflesh and in “this evil world age” and in the spirit and in “the age tocome.” But it is the newly-begun life in “the age to come” that makes itpossible to say that this believer is KAINH KTISIS, “a brand new creature.”Now it may be that some of my own theological assumptions have entered intothe above formulation, but I have really meant to express no more than myunderstanding of the way Paul is using his terms within his ownmore-or-less consistent phraseology, and I’ll readily admit that myunderstanding of Paul’s phraseology has been shaped by Bultmann’s chapteron “Pauline anthropology” in his _Theology of the NT_.Now to the more precise point or question: does KTISIS here refer to thecreature or to the whole of creation? I think it refers to BOTH, althoughprimarily or in the first place to the creature; yet I think it refers tothe whole of creation in a sense also, because the newly-created individualis not an isolated entity created by God in and for him/herself but ratheris an integral part of the whole process of God’s recreation of theuniverse, even if the full recreation of the universe has yet to beconsummated.Now, have I rightly understood your question, and if so, does this help atall. Now that I’ve expressed myself, I would expect that others would shootdown my view or subject it to their own critique.Regards, cwcCarl W.
