Dear All,

Thanks for the help on the previous question today - I have another query 
regarding EFESIOUS, this time from 6:9, where we read:

EIDOTES OTI KAI AUTWN KAI UMWN O KURIOS ESTIN EN OURANOIS

seemingly very simple...my only question is: why can't this be translated: 
"knowing that both their and your Lord is in heaven" - my real problem here 
is the way in which some translations deal with the ESTIN, by rendering the 
passage as: "knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in 
heaven" (ASV).  I think that there is not really much difference in the 
actual meaning of my version and the ASV version, but the way in which the 
ESTIN is dealt with seems to be significantly different.  Is the phrase "he 
who is", or a phrase like it, necessary?

Any ideas?
