At 19:59 99/12/23 EST, Lowry Hershey (H2pariter at aol.com) wrote about Beck's
translation, and returned the discussion to the translation itself.
(Numerous other contributions lately under the heading of "Beck's
translation" have actually taken the discussion rather far afield, I fear.)

It is in fact a good translation, refreshingly different in some places
from the majority trend, and thus encouraging us to think more deeply about
a passage.

I think perhaps my favourite rendering is Beck's 1 Corinthians 11:11, which
(from memory) goes like this: "The fact is, in the Lord a woman needs a
man, and a man needs a woman."

Yep.
