Dear Dakota, Not to take anything away from JohnQ's response to you since he has begun with a wonderful introduction on the meanings and derivatives of the Greek word paiV, I have elaborated in a slightly different direction on the identity of the centurion's servant in the post linked to below. Learning the Scriptures in their original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek is lots of fun - I highly recommend it! Thanks for your interest in this thread. Love in the Lord, J |
