>Doug are you implying that because there are two different words in Greek that there should be two different words in English?

<doug>
not necessarily. but i am thinking that they are different in the greek for a particular reason. and in my mind, it must be a reason other than just style...otherwise we cannot explain why EIS is repeated. sometimes i think people just claim that the difference is merely stylistic as an excuse to not being able to explain the distinction-since we all must admit that if the reasons were merely stylistic we could never know for 100% certainty. anyway, the words may be translated the same but that doesn't mean that in the SL that they necessarily were identical in meaning. i hope this helps...
