What ‘scholar’ holds any position other than the one I posted directly out of the scripture? I am unable to find any.
Well, the scholar/translator teams who translated the American Standard Version, the New International Version, the Contemporary English Version, the New King James Version, and many others hold a position other than yours. They all say it translates best as “children of God”.
And as I said, since I don’t read the original languages, I can’t really argue for either “children” or “sons” with any certainty.
