I apologize if this has been discussed, but I cannot get the archive search
to provide me with meaningful responses.
In Phil. 1.10 we read:
EIS TO DOKIMAZEIN hUMAS TA DIAFERONTA
Generally this is translated something like "so that you may approve what is
excellent". I was wondering whether the Greek could sustain: "so that you
may be tested as to what is excellent" ie "be made excelllent as a result of
your testing".
In the former case we do the approving or testing; in the latter we are
ourselves tested.
Any thoughts?
