We have now crossed the line between genuine discussion of the Greek text
or Greek language of the NT; the present post concerns a hermeneutical
question, and hermeneutics is one of those areas we are not going to get
into on B-Greek. So, PLEASE, B-Greekers, do NOT go on with this whole
matter of whether or not there are hUPONOIAI in Biblical texts; let's
restrict ourselves with what the Greek may legitimately be argued to assert.
