What is the force of the dative here?
Romans 7:16 SUMFHMI TWi NOMWi hOTI KALOS
It seems to say "I agree with the law" hOTI KALOS, but isn't it the law
itself which I agree is KALOS? How am I supposed to know that hOTI KALOS
means something like hOTI hO NOMOS KALOS ESTIN, as it seems to be translated
by most translations?
Jonathan
Ohne Verstand reicht Sitzfleisch auch nicht.
The mind can absorb no more than the seat can endure.
(The second is not a translation of the first, but they are somewhat related.)
