<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>In I Corinthians 16:15, did the translators have
any linguistic reason to translate ETAXAN as &quot;devoted&quot; instead of
&quot;appointed&quot; in this verse? I suspect they didn't approve of Stephanas'
actions and so they obscured the translation.</FONT></DIV>

I urge you, brothers, </FONT></DIV>
