Talk:John 1-7 (Translated) (view source)
Revision as of 16:22, September 22, 2012

::::What are you talking about? Quotation marks? John could have said: "Οὕτω γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ Θεὸς ἡμᾶς..." But he didn't. Why? Because it would have been inconsistent with the rest of the gospel. As inconsistent as your translation. Who is the ''we'' you are talking about? Again, you are changing the position of the narrator of the gospel, you make him one of ''us'', while John took care to report the events impersonally. You are rewriting the gospel!

::::The Greeks most certainly knew how to use first-person references: the epistles are full of them! Greek literature take many forms, and John wrote a report, not an editorial.
