Please pardon an uneducated question, but I was curious after looking
this verse up in a few English translations. Phillips (in an obvious
paraphrase) renders it as "think over what has been said" and New World
(usually very literal, but sometimes idiosyncratic) translates it as
"discern the meaning". I don't have BDAG available to me right now, but
L&S give the Latin equivalent of DIAKRINW as discernere. So do you think
that it's plausible that the verse refers to interpretation rather than
criticism?
