I want to continue hearing with faith<\/i>1<\/sup><\/a> the truth of the Gospel in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, but first I need to record the new covenant sermon that is still coming to fruition within me. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 4th<\/sup> chapter of 1 John followed the 3rd<\/sup><\/a>: \u201cThe interlinear English\/Greek New Testament<\/a> keyed to the Greek text of the KJV, NA28<\/sup><\/a> and the Koine Greek Lexicon<\/a> were all open on my phone.\u201d I had made it through, checking verbs mostly, and a few other parts of speech if a particular question came to mind. We had reached the end of the sermon and the last verse of the chapter (1 John 4:21 ESV).<\/span><\/p>\n

And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m not entirely sure why I bothered to look it up: commandment<\/i>, must<\/i>…love<\/i>. Obviously the verb was in the imperative mood. <\/span><\/p>\n

The imperative mood is a command or instruction given to the hearer, charging the hearer to carry out or perform a certain action.2<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I recalled \u201cThis multiplexing of truth<\/a>,\u201d particularly \u201cthe Greek verbs in Galatians 5 (\u03c3\u03c4\u03ae\u03ba\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>,24<\/sup><\/a> \u03b4\u03bf\u03c5\u03bb\u03b5\u03cd\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>,25<\/sup><\/a> \u03b2\u03bb\u03ad\u03c0\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>,26<\/sup><\/a> \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c0\u03b1\u03c4\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>27<\/sup><\/a>) which might be understood in either the indicative or imperative moods.\u201d3<\/sup><\/a> But even as I searched the Greek Lexicon I was unsure what to make of it if I discovered that \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> (ESV: must<\/i>…love<\/i>) was another one of those multiplexed verbs that might also be understood in the indicative mood. <\/span><\/p>\n

The indicative mood is a statement of fact or an actual occurrence from the writer’s or speaker’s perspective…It may be action occurring in past, present, or future time.4<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When I found \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> in the lexicon, I thought I had the wrong word. I had selected \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> from the interlinear English\/Greek New Testament<\/a> (INT: should love<\/i>), the received text. Perhaps, the critical text had a different \u201cbetter\u201d word. But, no, NA28<\/sup><\/a> had \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a>, too. I recalled that the Textus Receptus Bibles<\/a> online had no accent marks. Perhaps the original Greek was \u03b1\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03b1<\/a> rather than \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God you (singular)<\/em>\u00a0must also love his brother.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That didn’t make much sense. It had to be a 3rd<\/sup> person singular verb. But a verb in the present tense and indicative mood seemed so problematic that I began to suspect that the editor of the Koine Greek Lexicon had made a mistake, listing a multiplexed verb (both imperative and indicative) as if it were in the indicative mood only. I mean, commandment<\/i> (\u03c4\u1f74\u03bd<\/a> \u1f10\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u1f74\u03bd<\/a>) is clearly right there in the text! Then the lightning flashed.<\/span><\/p>\n

John’s and the Holy Spirit’s meaning was clear as day: the new covenant<\/a>. In the new covenant a commandment is a fact, a promise to, and a truth of the new human (\u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bd\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u1f04\u03bd\u03b8\u03c1\u03c9\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>) created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness<\/i>:5<\/sup><\/a> it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So the life I now live in the body, I live because of the faithfulness of the Son of God<\/i>:6<\/sup><\/a> for it is God<\/a> who works in<\/i> [the new human], both to will and to work for<\/i> [God’s] good pleasure<\/i>.7<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

All my religious training, however, is designed to discount, doubt or dispute those flashes of insight from the Holy Spirit. And there is that other matter of the English translation of the New Testament. As I scanned the list<\/a> of translations on Bible Hub<\/a>, one from Aramaic rather than from Greek stood out (1 John 4:21 Lamsa Bible<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

And this commandment we have from him, That he who loves God loves his brother also.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There were two other translations near the bottom of the list translated from Greek (1 John 4:21 Godbey New Testament<\/a> and Worrell New Testament<\/a>):<\/span><\/p>\n

And we have this precept from him, that the one loving God with divine love also loves his brother with divine love.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And this commandment we have from Him, that he who loves God loves his brother also.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since none of these translations is likely to carry much weight in the religious circles in which I travel, I’ll take the long way round. But first, a confession: As I sit at home with my laptop (and easy access to my notes), I realize I have looked up \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> before, and did not recall it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t know yet that the Greek word translated <\/span><\/span><\/em>should love<\/a> was \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c9<\/a> in the indicative mood<\/a>, another statement of fact. The <\/em><\/span><\/span>commandment (\u03c4\u1f74\u03bd<\/a> \u1f10\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u1f74\u03bd<\/a>) <\/em><\/span><\/span>we have from him is apparently of the\u2014<\/em><\/span><\/span>And God said, \u201cLet there be light,\u201d and there was light11<\/sup><\/a>\u2014variety.8<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Though my failing memory is a continual source of embarrassment, that seemingly forgotten insight probably paved the way for the flash of understanding that came six months later, when I was so absolutely convinced that \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> must be in the imperative mood. There are twelve occurrences<\/a> of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> in the New Testament (see table<\/a> below). Only one was translated must love<\/i> in the ESV. The other eleven were translated loves<\/i>, the ordinary expectation of a 3rd<\/sup> person singular form of the verb to love<\/i> in the indicative mood<\/a> and present tense in contemporary English. But the \u201clong way round\u201d was not as long as I had anticipated (1 John 5:1 ESV):<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves (\u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a>)<\/em> whoever9<\/sup><\/a><\/em> has been born of him.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Greek is: \u03a0\u1fb6\u03c2<\/a> \u1f41<\/a> \u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5\u03cd\u03c9\u03bd<\/a>, Everyone who believes<\/i>, \u1f45\u03c4\u03b9<\/a> \u1f38\u03b7\u03c3\u03bf\u1fe6\u03c2<\/a> \u1f10\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd<\/a> \u1f41<\/a> \u03a7\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u1f78\u03c2<\/a>, that Jesus is the Christ<\/i>, \u1f10\u03ba<\/a> \u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6<\/a> \u03b8\u03b5\u03bf\u1fe6<\/a> \u03b3\u03b5\u03b3\u03ad\u03bd\u03bd\u03b7\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9<\/a>, of God has been born<\/i> (or \u201cout of God has been born and continues to be such\u201d10<\/sup><\/a>). Here is the creation of that new human<\/a> (\u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bd\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u1f04\u03bd\u03b8\u03c1\u03c9\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>) created <\/i>(\u03ba\u03c4\u03b9\u03c3\u03b8\u1f73\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1<\/a>, a participle of \u03ba\u03c4\u03af\u03b6\u03c9<\/a>) after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.<\/i>11<\/sup><\/a> John continued: \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> \u03c0\u1fb6\u03c2<\/a>, and everyone<\/i>, \u1f41<\/a> \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1ff6\u03bd<\/a>, who loves<\/i>, \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u03b3\u03b5\u03bd\u03bd\u03ae\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1<\/a>, the Father<\/i>, \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a>, loves<\/i>, \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> \u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a>, whoever<\/i> (KJV: him also<\/i>), \u03b3\u03b5\u03b3\u03b5\u03bd\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>12<\/sup><\/a> \u1f10\u03be<\/a> \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6<\/a>, has been born of him<\/i> (KJV: that is begotten of him<\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n

Now I can piece together what happened to me at the end of that sermon: God the Father, God the Son through God the indwelling Holy Spirit, knowing I had all but forgotten what He taught me in February<\/a>, knowing that the sermon would end one verse before 1 John 5:1, prompted me to look up the Greek verb \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> contrary to my own inclination since I already knew (erroneously) it must be in the imperative mood. As I puzzled over why it was not in the imperative mood, his insight flashed vividly in my heart, mind, soul. Though my religion inclines me to distrust his vivid flashes of insight, the next verse, which I was otherwise inclined to avoid, agrees with the content of his vivid flash of insight. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Koine Greek Lexicon online, \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9<\/a> is the 3rd<\/sup> person singular form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c9<\/a> in the active voice, present tense and imperative mood.13<\/sup><\/a> In a footnote (55<\/a>) the NET translators explained why they understood the one who loves God should love his fellow Christian too<\/i> as a commandment to be obeyed by the one who loves God<\/i>: <\/span><\/p>\n

The \u1f35\u03bd\u03b1 (hina) clause in 4:21 could be giving (1) the purpose or (2) the result of the commandment mentioned in the first half of the verse, but if it does, the author nowhere specifies what the commandment consists of [see Matthew 22:34-40<\/a>]. It makes better sense to understand this \u1f35\u03bd\u03b1 clause as (3) epexegetical to the pronoun \u03c4\u03b1\u03cd\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd (taut\u0113n) at the beginning of 4:21 and thus explaining what the commandment consists of: \u201cthat the one who loves God should love<\/a> his brother also.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Microsoft copilot answered my request for \u201cthe two greatest commandments\u201d correctly:<\/span><\/p>\n

The two greatest commandments are:
\n1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind.
\n2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
\nThese commandments summarize the essence of the Law and the Prophets, as taught by Jesus in the New Testament (Matthew 22:37-40).<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Be that as it may, a promise in Greek (\u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> in the indicative mood rather than \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c4\u03c9<\/a> in the imperative mood) was transformed into a rule in the English translation because \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> was joined by the conjunction \u1f35\u03bd\u03b1<\/a> (translated as a colon in the ESV) to \u03c4\u03b1\u1f7b\u03c4\u03b7\u03bd<\/a> \u03c4\u1f74\u03bd<\/a> \u1f10\u03bd\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u1f74\u03bd<\/a> (ESV: this commandment<\/i>). 1 John isn’t taught in Greek philosophy courses but in churches. English translations of 1 John are shaped by this usage. Does any Pastor want to stand in front of his congregation and say, \u201cIf you do not love the one born of God, you are not born of God, because one born of God loves God and the one born of God\u201d? A Pastor prefers to say, \u201cYou are born of God; act like it: love the one born of God.\u201d And I can be very double-minded<\/a> about this, or perhaps I should say multiplexed<\/i><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

My gut instinct or the philosophical bent of my mind14<\/sup><\/a> says, \u201cTell us the truth.\u201d But my own experience was completely different. I wore myself out being perfected by the flesh<\/i>15<\/sup><\/a> as I attempted to love like God by transforming Paul’s description of love into rules<\/a> I obeyed (or disobeyed) in the flesh. But it worked in the sense that after that incrementally better<\/a> colossal failure, I was more than ready to hear an alternative from Paul and Jesus and John and God the Father through the indwelling Holy Spirit and the written word of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ephesians isn’t taught in Greek philosophy courses either. When I discovered<\/a> that \u1f44\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03c2<\/a> is a plural participle of \u03b5\u1f30\u03bc\u03af<\/a> in the present tense\u2014\u201cyou are dead\u201d\u2014rather than the past tense\u2014you were dead<\/i>16<\/sup><\/a>\u2014I could begin to unravel two multiplexed truths<\/a>. At issue was how to understand the dative case<\/a> in the first verse of Ephesians 2: And you<\/i> are dead in the trespasses and sins<\/i> or \u201cby means of your trespasses and sins\u201d or \u201cto your trespasses and sins.\u201d These three options ultimately resolved<\/a> to two: \u201cby means of (in<\/i>) your trespasses and sins\u201d and \u201cto your trespasses and sins.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

As I wrote<\/a> regarding Colossians 1:21-23<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s not too difficult to see why one might prefer to understand this as a contrast between one\u2019s past and present,\u201d likewise it is not too difficult to grasp why pastors and Bible translators would prefer to translate \u1f44\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03c2<\/a> were<\/i>. Hopefully, its not too difficult to understand why the philosophical bent of my mind prefers to grapple with the multiplexed truths of \u1f44\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03c2<\/a> translated literally. <\/span><\/p>\n

Paul continued (Ephesians 2:11-13 ESV): <\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called \u201cthe uncircumcision\u201d by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands\u2014remember that you were at17<\/sup><\/a><\/em> that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>The Greek is: \u0394\u03b9\u1f78<\/a> \u03bc\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03bf\u03bd\u03b5\u1f7b\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>, Therefore remember<\/i>. This might be a command\u2014Therefore<\/i> you must remember<\/i>\u2014or it might be a statement of fact\u2014Therefore<\/i> (this is why) you remember<\/i>\u2014relative to all that has been written previously, specifically all that had transpired in his readers’ lives. <\/a>And though I would have understood the ESV translation remember<\/i> as a command previously, a deliberate choice of the imperative mood, now I wonder if it is a placeholder pointing to these dual possibilities: the Greek \u03bc\u03bd\u03b7\u03bc\u03bf\u03bd\u03b5\u1f7b\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5<\/a> might be understood in the imperative mood<\/a> as a command to the lawless and disobedient<\/i><\/a> (the old human), or in the indicative mood<\/a> as a fact of, and a promise to, the just<\/i><\/a> (the new human). <\/span><\/p>\n

The clause continued: \u1f45\u03c4\u03b9<\/a> \u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u1f72<\/a>, that at one time<\/i>, \u1f51\u03bc\u03b5\u1fd6\u03c2<\/a> \u03c4\u1f70<\/a> \u1f14\u03b8\u03bd\u03b7<\/a> \u1f10\u03bd<\/a> \u03c3\u03b1\u03c1\u03ba\u1f77<\/a>, you Gentiles in the flesh<\/i> (or, \u201cyou, the Gentiles by means of the flesh\u201d). Here in<\/i> as ESV-speak for \u201cby means of\u201d seems reinforced. Paul’s readers are Gentiles by means of the flesh, their descent from non-Jews, rather than their membership in<\/a> a \u201cGentile club.\u201d But there is some multiplexing apparent as well: by means of the flesh these Gentiles’ bodies are host (1 Corinthians 15:45-49<\/a>; John 3:6-8<\/a>) to the old human (\u03c4\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u03c0\u03b1\u03bb\u03b1\u03b9\u1f78\u03bd<\/a> \u1f04\u03bd\u03b8\u03c1\u03c9\u03c0\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>) which belongs to<\/i> [their] former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires<\/i>,18<\/sup><\/a> as evidenced by the<\/a> trespasses and sins<\/i> [Table<\/a>] in which<\/i> [they] once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience<\/i> (or \u201cby means of the sons of disbelief\u201d).19<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Paul continued in the second half of verse 11 of Ephesians 2: \u03bf\u1f31<\/a> \u03bb\u03b5\u03b3\u1f79\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9<\/a>, called<\/i> (or \u201cthose called\u201d), \u1f00\u03ba\u03c1\u03bf\u03b2\u03c5\u03c3\u03c4\u1f77\u03b1<\/a>, \u201cthe uncircumcision\u201d<\/i> (literally, \u201cforeskin\u201d), \u1f51\u03c0\u1f78<\/a> \u03c4\u1fc6\u03c2<\/a> \u03bb\u03b5\u03b3\u03bf\u03bc\u1f73\u03bd\u03b7\u03c2<\/a> by what is called<\/i> (or \u201cby those called\u201d), \u03c0\u03b5\u03c1\u03b9\u03c4\u03bf\u03bc\u1fc6\u03c2<\/a> \u1f10\u03bd<\/a> \u03c3\u03b1\u03c1\u03ba\u1f76<\/a> \u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03c1\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03b9\u1f75\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5<\/a>, the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands<\/i> (or, the circumcision <\/i>\u201cby means of flesh made by hand\u201d). Circumcision<\/i> is regarded here as the living symbol<\/a> of the foolishness<\/a> of being perfected by the flesh<\/i>.20<\/sup><\/a> The translators do a fairly good job of conveying what is not quite disdain for his own people and heritage (Philippians 3:2-11 ESV<\/a>) though it could be taken that way spoken by someone other than Paul (Romans 9:1-8 ESV<\/a>): Rather, they convey Paul’s recognition of the greater value of the power of the indwelling Spirit of Christ: It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken<\/a> to you are spirit and life<\/i>,21<\/sup><\/a> as<\/a> Jesus said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul continued: \u1f45\u03c4\u03b9<\/a>, remember that<\/i> (literally, \u201cthat\u201d or \u201csince\u201d), \u1f26\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>, you were<\/a><\/i>, \u03c4\u1ff7<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u1ff7<\/a> \u1f10\u03ba\u03b5\u1f77\u03bd\u1ff3<\/a>, at that time<\/i> (or \u201cby means of that time\u201d). The received texts (Stephanus Textus Receptus<\/a> and Byzantine Majority Text<\/a>) had \u03b5\u03bd<\/a> preceding the phrase \u03c4\u1ff7<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u1ff7<\/a> \u1f10\u03ba\u03b5\u1f77\u03bd\u1ff3<\/a> (KJV: at that time<\/i>). The critical texts (NET Parallel Greek<\/a> text and NA28<\/sup><\/a>) did not. I use the NET Parallel Greek text as a proxy for NA27<\/sup>. Here, the critical texts agree.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1 John 5:1 (footnote 9<\/a>), however, they do not: NA28<\/sup> agrees with the received texts that \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> (KJV: also<\/i>) is original and belongs in the text. The NET Parallel Greek text (my proxy for NA27<\/sup>) disagrees. In other words, this is documentary evidence that at one point in time the latest and greatest research of the critical text of the New Testament indicated that \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> was an unwarranted addition to the original text and it was removed from the Greek text of 1 John 5:1 that translators use to translate the New Testament into English (or any other language).Then at another later time the latest and greatest research of the critical text of the New Testament indicated that \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76<\/a> is original and it was placed back into the Greek text again, in agreement with the received texts. But wait for it: NA29<\/sup> is coming soon. <\/span><\/p>\n

Textus Receptus Bibles<\/a> online22<\/sup><\/a> has several different older Greek texts to compare and contrast to the critical text of the moment. And as you begin to look into it, you’ll find that they mostly compare<\/i>. <\/a>Maurice Robinson<\/a>, one of the editors of the Byzantine Majority Text<\/a>, appeared as a panelist in at least two videos<\/a> produced by the Textural Confidence Collective<\/a> or Mark Ward<\/a>. In a video titled Do Westcott & Hort Rule New Testament Textural Criticism?<\/a>, responding to a request to summarize the Byzantine Priority<\/i>, Mr. Robinson acknowledged:<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the <\/span><\/span><\/em>Byzantine Priority? It’s a name that Pierpont and I made up…because the name that was being used before was <\/em><\/span><\/span>Majority Text. But as Gordon Fee<\/a> had complained, \u201c<\/em><\/span><\/span>Majority Text means that all you’re doing is counting noses.\u201d And, well, we weren’t doing that. The truth is that most variant units, where there is textual variation, the majority of manuscripts tends to be one way or the other. That’s why it was called the <\/em><\/span><\/span>Majority Text. But in certain places the majority splits. In some places we even, actually in our edition, favor…a reading that has less than the actual numerical majority…So <\/em><\/span><\/span>Byzantine Priority means the Byzantine, in our view, was the one that was considered the text from which the other text types or clusters derived over time.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Given my current kick of understanding the dative case instrumentally, \u201cby means of\u201d (if that seems even remotely possible), whether \u03b5\u03bd<\/a> precedes \u03c4\u1ff7<\/a> \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03c1\u1ff7<\/a> \u1f10\u03ba\u03b5\u1f77\u03bd\u1ff3<\/a> or not is irrelevant to me.

<\/a>It is worth pointing out that the words \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd<\/a> \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b8\u03b7\u03ba\u1ff6\u03bd<\/a> (the covenants<\/i>) are plural.

But as it is, Christ has obtained<\/a> a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises<\/i> [Table<\/a>]. For if that first covenant had been faultless<\/a>, there would have been no occasion to look for a second<\/i>.26<\/sup><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

Also, Paul did not say that the Gentiles had believed the wrong stories about God or worshiped the wrong god or gods. He said, by means of the world they were godless, without any god at all. What do I imply then?<\/i> Paul wrote elsewhere. That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, I imply that what pagans<\/a> sacrifice<\/a> they offer<\/i>27<\/sup><\/a> to demons and not to God<\/i> [Table<\/a>].28<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The emphasis is on Jesus’ obedience not a magical object: And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross<\/i>.32<\/sup><\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ33<\/sup><\/a><\/em> has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is,34<\/sup><\/a><\/em> he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin35<\/sup><\/a><\/em> by the sacrifice of himself. And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so36<\/sup><\/a><\/em> Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.37<\/sup><\/a><\/em> <\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>The truth to be hearing with faith<\/i>38<\/sup><\/a> is: Therefore remember that at one time you<\/i>, the Gentiles<\/i> by means of the flesh<\/i>, those called<\/i> foreskin by<\/i> those called the circumcision<\/i> (by means of flesh made by<\/i> hand) since you were<\/i> by means of that time<\/i> apart from Christ<\/i>, had become an outsider of citizenship of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope, and<\/i> godless by means of the world<\/i>. But now<\/i> by means of Christ Jesus you, who<\/i> at any time [by means of the flesh, by means of that time] are far off, have<\/i> come into existence near at hand by means of Christ’s bloodshed.<\/span><\/p>\n

I can begin to hear the subjunctive mood here as a technicality of Greek grammar: If anyone <\/i>may love<\/b><\/i> Me<\/i> (John 14:23) is the antecedent of a conditional statement rather than a standalone fact. But the translators exercise quite a bit of discretion since even the conditional statements of Scripture are factual in their entirety: and if anyone <\/i>loves<\/b><\/i> God, this one has been known by Him<\/i> (1 Corinthians 8:3). Now that I’m hearing the subjunctive mood if anyone<\/em> may love God, this one has been known by Him<\/em> is an even clearer statement that loving God is the effect or result of being known<\/i> by Him (Romans 7:1-6<\/a>) through his indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22-24<\/a>). Anyone who is not known (Matthew 7:21-23<\/a>) by God, does not love Him, modus tollens<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure why Mr. Young<\/a> added an archaic<\/a> 3rd<\/sup> person singular form of to do<\/i> in the present tense to \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a>. I thought, perhaps it was to distinguish the verb from the identical English noun, but doth chasten<\/i> (Hebrews 12:6) seems to deny that possibility. Still, doth love<\/i> functions like loves<\/i> in the indicative mood as a statement of fact.<\/span><\/p>\n

13<\/sup><\/a> Does anyone recall what the translators of the King James Bible, ASV, CEV, English Revised Version, Webster’s Bible Translation, Smith’s Literal Translation, Douay-Rheims Bible and Haweis New Testament meant by their translation love<\/i>? It doesn’t sound like a 3rd<\/sup> person singular verb in the present tense and indicative mood in any English I know. The prima facie evidence<\/a> supports the contention that they meant must love<\/i> or should love<\/i>. Another option, may love<\/i> (Literal Standard Version [see table<\/a> above], Young’s Literal Translation [see table<\/a> above]), sounds more like the subjunctive mood<\/a>. (That is how the lexicon my Pastor uses describes \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb7<\/a> in 1 John 4:21.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
