Hi Big Greeks,
I have a question regarding the following text:
Eph 4:19 OITINES APHLGHKOTES hEAUTOUS PAREDWKAN TH ASELGEIA EIS ERGASIAN AKAQARSIAS PASHS EN PLEONEXIA.
I read that EN PLEONEXIA is qualifying EIS ERGASIAN, which means it should translated as in RSV "greedy to practice".
However, in Andrew Lincoln's commentary, in addition to Martin Barth's commentary on Ephesians, they both indicated that EN PLEONEXIA could mean KAI PLEONEXIA, because of Semitic usage of "with" (Barth 503, 522).
I tried to search from the list about any discussion on this, but failed to search anything..
Hence, I am wondering if anyone has any insight or comment on this? FYI, I am preparing a hermanuetic paper on Eph 4:17-24. Hence, any direction, comment or suggestion are welcomed.
Thanks and regards,
