Gentlmen,
 
Hi.  My name is Mike and I am brand new on this list.   I'm really new with this so please bear with me.  I am also a novice when it comes to the greek.  I still need to learn about the tenses.  My first quesion has to do with a varient in Acts 26:17.  It is just one word, the word in greek is VUV or otherwise "now" in the english.  It appears to be in the KJV exclusively and I am just wondering if someone can tell me how many greek manuscripts this varient word is in??  Is this word only found in a "family" of greek manuscripts or in a number of copies scattered around in different textual relatives??  Inclusion of this word in the text would hammer home the reality that Paul received his apostleship at the very time he saw Christ on the Damascus Rd.
 
My 2nd question has to do with Romans 10:9,10 and the aorist tense.  Romans 10:9 is in the future tense while vs. 10 is in the present.  Also, Romans 10:9 deals with 2nd person while Rom 10:10 is in the 3rd person.  I just want to know that, though the aorist is used in vs. 9,  it is not in vs. 10;  does that mean the person performing the action in Romans 10:10 has not received the gift of salvation based on EIS  or "unto" (in the english)?  I tend to interpret Romans 10:9,10 as one person performing the action with vs. 10  the GOAL HAVING BEEN REACHED.  But I have heard some say that "EIS"  can be understood to mean that person on his way and not there yet.  Any help you can give me will be appreciated.
 
Mike K.
