Hello Friends,
Apologies if this is a duplicate thread. Please put me right:
I would like to know what influences the common decision of translators to render this passage in the plural we/us rather than the singular I/me? I'm no linguist - a simple Holy-Spirit filled physics teacher. I did a quick reckie using Bible Hub and it looked like either was plausible, in fact, perhaps the singular slightly more so?
I would appreciate your wisdom.
Verity
