Dear Patrick,

>There is another issue here that I would be interested in hearing 
>folks' opinions on. Namely, how do we interpret the phrase "hOITINES 
>EISIN EPISHMOI EN TOIS APOSTOLOIS"?  There's significant diversity 
>in how this is translated among translations across ideological 
>lines.  For example:
>
>ESV - "They are well known *TO* the apostles,* and they were in 
>Christ before me."
>
>NRSV - "they are prominent *AMONG* the apostles, and they were in 
>Christ before I was." [Emphasis mine in both cases.]

HH: This issue is also addressed in the following link, and it is 
treated there at more length than the gender of the name:
