Thanks for checking Gerry, unlike myself who assumed too much. I apologize
for leading anyone astray in this interpretation.

BTW for translations when comparing among Gothic, Greek, etc. I find the ASB
or the NASB version to be quite useful (not sure if it goes against British
sensibilities however) and rather literal, while yet more accessible than
the young's literal.
