Thread Name: BS: How the Bible altered how we speak
Subject: RE: BS: How the Bible altered how we speak
i,ve mostly used KJV since i became a christian decades ago.a few years ago i did some elementary koine greek study and it seemed to me that the KJV seemed to follow quite closely word order from the gk,which in that text places words/phrases out of order[when translated word for word].
am i right and has this contributed to the poetic feel,anybody?.
