David:



I do not wish to sound a bit concerned, but you asked a question about a 
very important Biblical tool, and a handful of personal opinions come in, 
wham you are not even going to investigate it further.  What if a few bitter 
men told you: "you're better of not marrying!"  Well, I guess that means a 
life without a companion for you.  I will tell you one thing a good 
interlinear will do for you; it will help you realize which translation is 
being the most honest and accurate. There is a standard among many 
translators (KJV, ASV, RSV, NASB, ESV), which does not allow any rendering 
outside of this standard.  I believe you will find that although the RSV, 
NASB and the ESV are very accurate, they contain more theological bias than 
the average churchman is aware of.  Moreover, you will discover that 
idiomatic translations are even more offline in this area of theological 
bias.
