While we are at it, there is also the issue of
exclamation marks. Hodges/Farstad is the only
text I can think of which uses these, e.g .obviously
after MH GENOITO, less obviously after Mk 8:12
EI DOQHSETAI THi GENEAi TAUTHi SHMEION!
Myself, I like the idea of putting in the exclamation marks.
Whether they are infallible or not, I bet lots of shouting
took place among the first b-greekers too.
As far as Eph 1:3-14 being one long sentence, that
depends on what you mean by a sentence, but yes,
I think it is.

Greetings all
Were commas and periods and things like this in the original Greek text from
the bible or added as time went on? I was told in my second year class, that
they were added. For those who believe in the infallibility of the original
text, are the commas and periods infallible? I'd think if they weren't
in the
original's you'd say no. I'm asking because we are studying Eph Ch
1 and
particularly, Ch 1:3 -14 and I have heard from many, that this is the longest
sentence in the Greek text, true?
