It has already been translated into English by experts in well over 200 English bibles...What are you going to do to improve on it???

Have someone explain this to you.

The way you learn Greek is by Studying the New Testament in Greek.You do a word by word translation. You start with John, then move to mark Matthew then Luke. By that time you are ready for the complexities of Paul.

It's quite impressive your study of Greek, I saw the other post showing how well you did in it at school.

Please bear in mind though, verga, that no matter how well trained one is in learning the Greek language, the way to understand the scriptures (no matter what language you read it in) is for the Holy Spirit to reveal the meanings.

That is His job and He is very good at it.

Some times education can get in the way of understanding scriptures with God given wisdom.

Understanding the complexities of Paul should give a good lesson to anyone about Simon Peter Magus and his role in the Catholic belief system.

the proper way to interpret the bible is to follow the Catholic Church....as Christ demanded...if everyone could interpret the bible on his/her own terms we would have millions of different interpretations.....doesn't work that way...listen to what the church teaches...follow it....believe it.
