Rom 15.18-19:
OU GAR TOLMHSW TI LALEIN hWN OU KATEIRGASATO
XRISTOS DI EMOU EIS hUPAKOHN EQNWN, LOGWi KAI ERGWi,
EN DUNAMEI SHMEIWN KAI TERATWN, EN DUNAMEI
PNEUMATOS [QEOU].
NIV, RSV and NASB all translate with something like this: "I will not venture
to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in
leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done . . ." I am
interested in this "except" clause. Surely the most natural reading is not "I will
not dare . . . except" but rather "I will not dare to speak of those things which
Christ has not done through me . . ." Is there any justification for the standard
translation?
Thanks
Mark
