> Iver and List, greetings,
I haven't posted a question or response in so long I just had to post
something! I have only glanced at the various verses in Acts 13 today, being
as crazy busy as usual.
So I just want to say thanks. I appreciate the question you raise, and
the potential distinctions. Just following a thread sometimes when I don't
have time to join it is a great stimulus and escape from the daily grind.
Grateful for B-Greek,
