Talk:Epistle to the Hebrews (Translated) (view source)
Revision as of 02:11, April 19, 2010
, 02:11, April 19, 2010I'm not sure William Penn read Greek. Most likely he read the KJV, liked the phrase, and then went back to the Greek. But I welcome any historical analysis about this.
I'm sure Penn was inspired by this verse, but by the original's φιλαδελφία, not the English "brotherly love." "Let brotherly love continue" is a word-for-word translation, but doesn't seem like anything a modern English speaker would say. Paul isn't just praying for some vague abstraction to continue to exist; he is exhorting the Hebrews to love in a particular way. It seems to me better to translate this with active, dynamic language. [[User:DanielPulido|DanielPulido]] 21:27, 18 April 2010 (EDT)

: As an aside, what makes you think Paul wrote this Epistle? It's nothing like Paul's style as far as I can tell, and I've worked on Paul's Epistles as well as this one.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:11, 18 April 2010 (EDT)
