<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>It places the "comma" before SHMERON&nbsp;&nbsp;which give a time that the
evildoer would enjoy the paradise promised (regardless of the location or the
inhabitants of that paradise).</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Yet, another translation that I once stumbled upon placed the "comma" after
SHMERON which then gives a time of the statement and leaves the evild doer's
enjoyment of paradise indefinite--just a future promise.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>The footnote&nbsp;claimed that the original Greek had no comma placed here
although the Westcott and Hort text does.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>My question is simple: "Does anyone have access to the oldest documents to
check this?"</DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone researched this before?&nbsp; It seems that the simple placement
of the comma is very important.&nbsp; Does this translation have any merit in
deviating from the majority based on this understanding?</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
