Hello again B-Greekers,
First, thank you to all who wrote me to recommend
inexpensive GNTs and other study helps.
Now, for another question:
The word hHMERA usually means "day". However, it appears
to mean something like "judgment" at least once (in 1 Cor 4:3).
Many (all?) English versions translate hHMERA as "day"
in Acts 17:31. But it looks like it might make decent
sense to translate it as "court" or "tribunal" or "judgment"
here. I'm not saying that's my view: I'm asking.
What do you think?
