Why is a transliteration used for the greek word "poimen" to pastor in
Ephesians 4:11? I've noticed that odf the 18 times poimen is used in the
New Testament, it's only translated pastor once. And if it should be
transliterated(?), why isn't Jesus the Chief-pastor instead of
Chief-shepherd in Peter 5:4?
Thank you!
