Okay...the point was that there are Greek words in the New Testament that had no Hebrew equivalent. This is but one example which is used to prove that the originals were in Greek not Hebrew or Aramaic. The contention was that there are Hebrew "puns" that got lost when translated into Greek. Yet, we have early Greek manuscript copies and fragments by the thousands and no such things in Hebrew. It makes sense that God would have inspired the New Testament books be written in the lingua franca of that time which was Greek.

Nor have any of those who hold to the Hebrew puns mentality ever told us what any of them are.
