Hi Carl!
I agree we went over PAS in 1Timothy 2:4 before. But I don't believe any
guide lines were ever arrived at for translating PAS as "All" vs "Every".
My grammar by Stevens gives
PAS(sg) + noun(sg) = "every ______"
PANTES(pl) + noun(pl) = "all ______"
for anarthrous constructions.
And
PAS + [article + noun] = "all the _____"
[article + PAS ] + noun = "the whole ______"
for articular constructions.
Now I just don't see how "every" is the same as "all" , though.
But what do you think?
Best,
Harry Jones
