::To your first point, I don't think the same Greek word or phrase should necessarily be translated repetitively and identically in English. Modern English disfavors repetition, and the Greek was not as powerful in some ways as terms now available. The meaning changes from context to context, and the original intent of the Greek was probably not identical in the different contexts.

::Your second point is terrific, but I wonder if we can improve it further. How about:

+

:::''With that you endorse the deeds of your fathers, as they killed the prophets and you build their tombs."''

+

::Perhaps even more refinement can improve this. Suggestions welcome.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 15:33, 19 January 2010 (EST)
