What does John 12:40 mean? This seems like a doctrinal question to me (different doctrinal perspectives might give different answers), but I'll bite ;) |

Is the statement about love and obedience in John 14:15 an imperative or an indicative? @H3br3wHamm3r81 I removed it, good catch. |

Contextually, which English translation/ Greek text seems more probable in Rev. 5:10? @H3br3wHamm3r81 Glad it helped |

Contextually, which English translation/ Greek text seems more probable in Rev. 5:10? @H3br3wHamm3r81 you misread my answer: Based solely on context, I think it's impossible to determine whether the present or future verb is best (six one way, half a dozen the other), but I still think the third-person plural reading makes the most sense (i.e. αὐτούς). When I reference ἡμᾶς in the last paragraph, I am referring to its use in Rev. 1:6, not in 5:10. |

Contextually, which English translation/ Greek text seems more probable in Rev. 5:10? I agree @swasheck - which I think Metzger makes clear (I wanted to quote more than one source on this, and my only other textual commentary basically just quotes Metzger). |

What is the name of Jesus in the Peshitta text? @SarahNoll does this sufficiently answer the question or are you looking for more? Concerning additional sources for supporting that the NT was originally written in Aramaic, that is a separate question. |

In the Peshitta NT, what was the original meaning of the word often translated “first day of the week”? @Mike I got an answer at the conference. |

In the Peshitta NT, what was the original meaning of the word often translated “first day of the week”? It's all good. I'm at a conference at Princeton and I'll be looking for an opportunity to ask a Semitic languages scholar about this tomorrow. |

What portions of the New Testament are purported to have originally been written in Aramaic? Can you point me to any scholarly books or articles about the things you've mentioned in your post? I'd like to learn more (beyond Wikipedia). |

What portions of the New Testament are purported to have originally been written in Aramaic? Yes, but I specifically mentioned that I was not interested in the Q theory. |

“the first day of the week” in 1 Corinthians 16:2 @SarahNoll sorry, I never think to read profiles. My bad. |

What does it mean to be “born of water”? I think this is the best answer to this question. |

Why is 'Sabbath' often plural in the Greek text (both LXX and NT) yet translated as if it were singular? I believe I've heard of this before concerning the godhead referred to as the 'plural of majesty.' |
