If a text is ambiguous in the original, let's keep it
that way in translation. Dynamic equivalence theory
translators often go overboard to make explicit what
is implicit in the original, and often drift into the
field of interpretation. In this passage, the
antecedent of TOUTWN in v 15 is for interpreters to
decide rather than grammarians. Anyway, that's how I
see it.

Hi Rob
I reckon there is a place for a translation which
preserves the ambiguity [which tells us what the Greek
says]
AND a place for a translation which is clear [telling
us what it means].
But I think we must give people translations firstly
translations which tell them what the passage means.
Later they can have their arm chair discussions [and
discover that it said what the clear translation said
in the first place!]
