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:
