Folks,
In regard to Matthew 5: 17-18, "MH NOMISHTE
hOTI hHLQON KATALUSAI TON NOMON hH TOUS
PROFHTAS OUK hHLQON KATALUSAI ALLA PLHRWSAI
AMHN GAR LEGW hUMIN hEWS AN PARELQHi hO
OURANOS KAI hH GH IWTA hEN H MIA KERAIA OU
MH PARELQHi APO TOU NOMOU hEWS AN PANTA
GENHTAI.
Some versions translate PLHRWSAI
and GENHTAI both as "fulfill" or "fulfilled." Is this
adequate or is there a difference in meaning between
the two words that needs to be reflected in the
translation?
What is the relationship of the two hEWS AN
phrases? Should they be taken as "Until both this and
that happen" or as "Until either this or that happens" or
is there another better way to see how these two phrases
work together?
