[] Jude 14 [] Jude 14 The first translation is litteral (the Greek text has hAGIAIS).The second is an interpretating rendering. “Saints” are in our vocabularychristians, humans, whereas the Greek expression could be used for angels aswell. Unless you can prove that angels cannot be called hAGIOI.ArieDr. A.

Unless you can prove that angels cannot be called hAGIOI.Thanks, Arie. With just elementary notions of Greek, I would have translatedthe phrase as “with His holy myriads”, which is an expression that could beapplied both to humans and to angels, although more naturally to the latter.What I found strange, however, was that a literal translation like Green’swould render the phrase as “with myriads of His saints”. Since angels arenot usually called “saints”, I wondered why the passage had been interpretedin that way. Either I was missing something or Green’s Literal Translationhad not been so literal here, after all.
