'en pnuemati'
Posted: April 20th, 2012, 10:40 pm
Hi,
I have a question.
'en pnuemati' is translated as "in Spirit" in John 4:24, yet in Ephesians 5:18, it is translated as "with Spirit". Does anyone know why ?
I understand that the preposition 'en' when it comes before a dative noun case ('pnuemati') is always rendered as "in" not "with". "With" tells us the mode by which something is done, whereas "in" tells us the location.
Thankyou.
