Hello All,
For the most part I am a *Lurker* on B-Greek, I'm a 4th year N.T. Greek
Major and I'm still in many respects a neophyte in the world of Greek, but I
read something that has me scratching my head and I wanted some opinions on
it. I'm afraid this question might venture into theology, so an off-list
reply might be more appropriate.
Yesterday I was reading in 1 Cor. and I came across this verse and it seemed
rather odd to me.
H OUK OIDATE hOTI TO SWMA hUMWN NAOS TOU EN hUMIN hAGIOU PNEUMATOS ESTIN
What struck me as odd is that SWMA is singular and hUMWN is plural. Is Paul
here referring the believer's individual *body*, or is he referring to the
universal *body* i.e. the *body* of Christ? Does the fact that SWMA is a
neuter have any bearing on the plurality of hUMWN?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
In Christ,
