An interesting commentary on how Biblical Greek is translated into English.

Thanks for the ping. Yes, translation from Greek to English isn’t always accurate. In the Prefatory Note to the First Edition of his Analytical Concordance to the Bible [1884], Robert Young wrote: “For our Translation [KGV] often renders one Greek word by ten or twenty English ones; and on the other hand, it sometimes employs one English word to translate ten or twenty Greek ones.”
