I'm having a problem with the way the Greek verb ANAPAUW is translated in 1 Peter 4:14. This word is found twelve times in the N.T.: Matthew 11:28; 26:45; Mark 6:31; 14:41; Luke 12:19; 1 Cor. 16:18; 2 Cor. 7:13; Philemon 7, 20; Rev. 6:11, 14:13; and of course, here in 1 Peter 4:14. The basic meaning of the term appears to be "rest, refresh" in all of these contexts. Vine's says "in the middle voice it means to take or enjoy rest". Question? In view of the fact that this verb means "to refresh, or give rest," why is it translated in 1 Pet. 4:14 with the meaning of "sits upon" (i.e. is located upon) persons? "To refresh" and "to be placed upon" are not synonymous, correct? What goes here? Wayne Price McLoud, Ok.
