"Led Astray by Punctuation - The Meaning of EPIORKW in Matt 5:33"
NovT 52 (2010) 24-36
Abstract
The meaning of EPIORKW in Matt 5:33 remains uncertain in the NT lexicon of
Bauer in English and in major commentaries. This paper traces the problem in
Bauer to misreading of punctuation. A re-examination of the evidence
establishes that the appropriate meaning is "break one's sworn promise", and
this is seen to be the meaning Bauer intended.
