TOUS GAR PANTAS hHMAS FANERWQHNAI DEI EMPROSQEN TOU BHMATOS TOU XRISTOU,
hINA KOMISHTAI hEKASTOS *TA DIA TOU SWMATOS* PROS hA EPRACEN
I have two questions about his passage.
TA DIA TOU SWMATOS
How does DIA TOU SWMATOS fit in?
I seems to me that it means the location where we will receive, making the whole thing something like 'we will recieve things throughout the body for what we have done'. This differs significantly from most translations which take DIA TOU SWMATOS as a descriptive phrase for where the things we did occurred rather than a description of the location of the receiving.
Any insight on this would be appreciated, is there a correct way to read it one way or the other?
My second question- Is there any thing in the greek in this passage that makes the sense of the whole statement a future event rather than an ongoing present occurrence - something along the lines of a present ongoing judgement which effects us in the present in the body, rather than a future grand judgement event ?
Thanks for any help,
Charles Granby
