2 questions:
1. TI
How would you translate this? (It appears in my UBS3)
It seems to mean something like "a certain thing" or "something." But, what
purpose does such a vague expression serve? I almost seems to add absolutely
nothing.
2. Could AUTWN possibly refer to other local, house-churches in the near
vicinity?
I think most commentaries take this to refer to the "members" of the
aforementioned church. But I was just wondering if this could possibly be
referring to other local churches in the vicinity.
Thank you,
Mark Wilson
