[bible passage=”2 Thess 2:15″] In his commentary on 2 Thessalonians, W. Marxsen claims that since 2:15 εἴτε δι’ ἐπιστολὴς ἡμῶν lacks an article (as in εἴτε δι’ τῆς ἐπιστολὴς ἡμῶν) it does not refer back to a specific letter (e.g., to 1 Thessalonians) but is meant in a general sense to refer to any ole…

[bible passage=”John 6:39″] I was surprised that the apparatus in UBS 3rd ed doesn’t show that there is indeed a difference in “ANASTASW AUTO” between its reading and the majority text.

Hey folks, I was wondering if it might be more natural to place the comma after πνευματικοῖς in 1 Corinthians 2:13: ἃ καὶ λαλοῦμεν οὐκ ἐν διδακτοῖς ἀνθρωπίνης σοφίας λόγοις, ἀλλ’ ἐν διδακτοῖς πνεύματος, πνευματικοῖς πνευματικὰ συνκρίνοντες. If we place the comma after πνευματικοῖς, that would make the comparative statement a bit more symmetric: διδακτοῖς…

There was a question about this challenging verse on Dec 18, 1998 with one response on Dec 21. But it has a number of challenges, so I thought it would be worthwhile picking it up. All English versions are struggling. The NIV 2011 redid the previous rendering rather drastically, but IMO without getting it right.…
Please see below John 3.9-14 for context. Most translations I checked do not see a paragraph break after John 3.12. The abrupt change in subject seems too severe to me to join verse 13 to 12 as if we are to read verse 13 as the next sentence in this paragraph. What would be the…
