Thank you for these word studies and insights into translation philosophy; they are always useful and enjoyable. The NLT is my primary reading and study Bible, but I also read the ESV Men’s Study Bible and my trusty old NASB from the 70s. It is so important to understand that context matters; indeed, it seems a principle understanding for students of the Word. Thanks again. Abundant blessings.
it is really good to know the reasons behind the different ways one Greek word is translated.
Good information and it makes teaching and learning in the Word more interesting. Thanks
This article is clear and very helpful in understanding the principles in translating these words.

Thank you Mark for explaining this so clearly. I hope all is well with you and your family. I knew your Mom.
