Re: Correct Translation of παρουσία
It has been suggested that the context should decide whether to use ”presence” or ”coming” in translation. To do that, we need to consider the Actionsart terms punctiliarity versus durtivity, because ”coming” signals punctiliarity and ”presence” signals durativity. And here is the real problem: How ...

Re: πνεῦμα as Spirit or spirit?
It seems that in English versions πνεῦμα is rendered as "Spirit" very often. Has that been discussed on B-Greek before? One of the things I noticed about going from New Testament Greek to Modern Greek was that πνεύμα (πνεῦμα) in Modern Greek is used far more often of the human mind / inte...

Re: κολασις and κολαζω
Dear Randall, As you suggest, there are many uncertainties when we try to find the Hebrew word from which a Greek word has been translated. The issue is whether κόλασις only can refer to punishment. I showed that in the Greek literature the word could refer to torture, to death, and to be cut off fr...

Re: Κύριος
Dear David, In addition to Pietersma, M. Rösel, "Adonaj—warum Gott "Herr" genannt wird," Forschungen zum alten Testament 29, Tübingen:Mohr Siebeck. 2000, has argued in favor of κυριος being written in the original LXX. Rösel has also written the article "Names of God" i...

Re: Κύριος
Dear David, The TDNT, III, p. 1049 says: "Except for Κύριος with the gen -> 1042, 1044, n. 13, Κύριος is never used for gods or rulers prior to the 1st century BC." If the translation of the LXX started in the third century BCE, to use Κύριος as a replacement for YHWH would be novel. As a ...
