"Beware of the false prophets..." is the NASB translation. Others are
similarly worded.
The Greek here is: PROSECHETE APO TWN PSEUDOPROQHTWN, ... -
Προσεχετε ἀπο των ψευδοπροφητων, ...
The question I'm asking is:
How do they arrive at "beware of" out of this: Προσεχετε
ἀπο (PROSECHETE APO)
Is PROSECHETE parsed here as the Imperative, as apposed to,
Indicative 2nd Plural?
The only (very literal) translation I could arrive at is:
"devote yourselves to move away from the false prophets"
... this seemed nothing like popular translation of this phase.
Please advise.
Luke.
