I have spent a good deal of time this evening trying
to put semantic tags on the preposition EN as used in
Phil. 1:26.
I noticed it is translated many different ways in the
mainstream translations. I'm still undecided on the
phrase EN EMOI. I think the rest of the verse
obviously is the key to enterpreting EN EMOI. I'm sure
it seemed 'natural' to the original hearers of the
letter to have consecutive ENs with a different
functions. I guess its this consecutive usage with
different functions that is causing me problems. Of
course I could be wrong in seeing the ENs functioning
differently. I just wanted to hear others' think out
loud about just what Paul intended. Here is the whole
verse.
