Iver:
Are you saying Greenlee disagrees with the (NIV) usage
he references? (As I look at it, that would not be
apparent but certainly possible.) Also, let me now
correct my answer to Dr. Conrad and say... at least
one answer is the NIV committee; they see it as a verb
here. So my question is: how can this noun be
understood as a verb (as the NIV take it)?
