Greetings again.
In working on 2 Peter 3:11,
TOUTWN hOUTWS PANTWN LUOMENWN POTATOUS DEI hUPARCEIN [hUMAS] EN hAGIAS
ANASTROFAIS KAI EUSEBEIAS.
I looked at several translations, and found something odd in Segond:
Puisque donc toutes ces choses doivent se dissoudre, quelle ne doivent pas
etre la saintete de votre conduite et votre piete.
(Since, therefore, all these things must dissolve, such must not be the
holiness of your conduct and your piety.)
I can't figure out why there is a negative (ne...pas) here. I realize that
there are several possibilities that may be off topic for this list, so my
question here concerns whether or not the Greek can be construed this way.
If you have responses that are outside the scope of G-Greek, please feel
free to e-mail me off-list.
Blessings,
Lorinda Hoover
