Hmmm. Don's last-quoted sentence has the ring of truth to it. This could
be advanced as yet another reason for learning Greek -- apropos of
at least a couple of threads on this list over the past year -- so
that in understanding the NT, one isn't tied down by the compromises
that commercially viable translations have to make. And
for those of us who aren't qualified as "big Greeks," it also offers
us an incentive to do personalized provisional translations unless and
until we can read the Greek in its own terms.
