<DIV><FONT size=2>Greetings</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Two questions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1. Would anyone care to speculate concerning more or less what
age to draw the line between older and younger men/women in Titus 2:2-6? The
words I have in mind are PRESBUTAS and PRESUTIDAS for older people, NEAS and
NEWTEROUS for younger.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>2. I found this quote in A Lion Handbook of the World's
Relgions: "In contrast, by the time of Theophrastos (370-287 BCE), a word was in
use whose meaning, 'fear of' or 'reverence for' divinity, already had such
negative overtones that it could designate the 'superstitious' person" (C
C Smith 1994:99). Anyone know what word he is alluding to?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
