Furthermore Paul avoided to use a word alluding to Jesus' origin as a human birth. Instead he used made/came/became (ginomai) of a woman or David's descendants. Doherty made that same mistake. In truth, both γεννάω and γί(γ)νομαι were used of ordinary births from human women. Here are a couple of e...

If you number the passage as follows.... You have divided the passage into discreet sense units, each one a coherent phrase or clause on its own. If you work only with sense units, then of course a lot of combinations are going to make sense. But the other lacunae in Boernerianus do not retain comp...

to Ben, According to http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3Do(ri%2Fzw Apparently, one definition for ὁρίζω is "determine one to be a god, deify". Look at the phrase that is being defined at that point: ὁ. τινὰ θεόν determine one to be a god, d...

With the correction: "I am an apostle of the Gentiles" (Rom 11:13). That's what Paul would have said: "apostle of the Gentiles", not "apostle among all the Gentiles". He uses that phrase once. Once. That is not enough to establish a pattern. "all" looks also ...

to Ben, There is nothing ungrammatical about it. What sounds wrong about it to you? "I am an apostle to the Gentiles" (Rom 11:13). That's what Paul would have said: apostle to the Gentiles. Also, in your quotes, I see "among Gentiles" not "among all the Gentiles" (exce...

One may have noticed that Boernerianus has Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ in Romans 1.1 where the NA27 has Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ. I decided to compare Boernerianus to Vaticanus in this respect across all the epistolary greetings, and this is what I get: Verse [/b] Boernerianus [/b] Vaticanus [/b] Romans 1.1 Jesus Christ Chr...
