To: the participants of the Biblical-Greek list,
I would like to elaborate on my earlier message. KLHTOS is used three times
at Romans 1:1-8.
(a) KLHTOS APOSTOLOS,
(b) KLHTOI IHSOU CRISTOU, and
(c) KLHTOIS hAGIOIS.
The RV translated these passage as:
(a) "called to be an apostle";
(b) "called to be Jesus Christ's"; and
(c) "called to be saints."
I wonder if they might be translated as:
(a) "a called one, an apostle";
(b) "Jesus Christ's called ones"; and
(c) "sacred called ones."
The above translation takes KLHTOS as a substantive rather than an
adjective. What do you think?
