Often in the brevity of some scriptures they dont show reflection or tone in the writer or the person speaking in the account and often I can get a glimpse of it through the greek translation like a present imperative where it’s an adamant urgent command to do something instead of just teaching one to do this and this, I don’t try to get into a fight over Translations but study, study and study all the more to show myself approve rightly.
Are you at all acquainted with the Book of Concord of 1580?
