Previous message: kosmos being translated as “Christians” or “God’s people” or”the chosen” Next message: Eusebian Tables To: the participants of the Biblical-Greek list,I would like to elaborate on my earlier message. KLHTOS is used three times at Romans 1:1-8.(a) KLHTOS APOSTOLOS,(b) KLHTOI IHSOU CRISTOU, and(c) KLHTOIS hAGIOIS.The RV translated these passage as:(a) “called to be an apostle”;(b) “called to be Jesus Christ’s”; and(c) “called to be saints.”I wonder if they might be translated as:(a) “a called one, an apostle”;(b) “Jesus Christ’s called ones”; and(c) “sacred called ones.”The above translation takes KLHTOS as a substantive rather than an adjective. What do you think?-Steven Craig MillerAlton, Illinois (USA)scmiller at www.plantnet.com

Previous message: Rom 1:1 KLHTOS APOSTOLOS Next message: Eusebian Tables To: the participants of the Biblical-Greek list,Here is another attempt to make sense of KLHTOS APOSTOLOS (Rm 1:1).The Greek KLHTOS has been translated as “called to be”; so that Paul was “called to be an apostle”; and that the Romans were “called to belong to Jesus Christ” as well as “called to be saints.” But in the LXX the term KLHTOS often means “guest” at Jud 14:11; 2 Kings 15:11; 3 Kings 1:41; Zeph 1:17; and 3 Macc 5:14. So I wonder if KLHTOS APOSTOLOS might mean “guest apostle.” Another idea is that KLHTOS APOSTOLOS might mean “invited apostle” Compare Mt 22:14 “many are invited, but few are chosen” (or how about “many are guests, but few are chosen”?).As for finding a translation for APOSTOLOS, how about “delegate” (per BAGD)? And for APOSTOLH (such as in Romans 1:5) how about “commission”?<< [1] Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, a guest delegate … [6] among whom you too are Jesus Christ’s guests, [7] to those being in Rome, God’s beloved and sacred guests: … >> (Romans 1:1a,6-7a).One nice thing about this is that “a guest delegate” is a much smother reading than the translation “a called one, an apostle.”What do you think?-Steven Craig MillerAlton, Illinois (USA)scmiller at www.plantnet.com

But like DOULOJ at Romans 1:1 – refer the Winbery and Brooks p. 7, it can also be functioning in apposition.APOSTOLOJ can certainly be an adjective, or a noun, though it is rarely described in the literature as an adjective, it can certainly function as one, in that it describes a noun (akin to simple apposition).Syriac scribes in translating I Cor. 1:1, added a conjunction between “(a) sent one” and “(a) called-one”, thus linking them in their minds. In Romans 1:1, we have 3 nominatives, each functioning in the same manner as nominatives in opposition. Also a I Cor. 1:1, papyrus 61 MAY omit “called” along with 02, 06, and 0151, and the Latin d. For KLHTOJ minuscule 1875 actually reads DOULOJ.Your proposal is certainly better than adding a “to be” as in some English translations. Am I correct in suggesting that like “DOULOJ” that both “KLHTOJ” and APOSTOLOJ” can be either a noun or an adjective? I know what the literature says, along with nearly all known dictionaries, but I want your personal input.Thanks,Mr. Gary S.
