Agreed. But to think that there have not been publishers/translators who are trying to (slowly) subvert the Word is naive (as I’m sure you are aware). Did a deep dive on this years ago…some shady stuff.

A couple years ago, I bought a New Testament translation called The Pure Word. The claim is “It’s the world’s first and only hermeneutic-based monadic Greek to English translation….the most literal/accurate version…an accurate single definitive meaning as understood by the Greek during the first century.”

I’ve only done some light skimming in it, so we’ll see. (And since you sound like a scholar, thot you might be interested.). I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone new to scripture tho.

Anyhoo, off to work. Have a great day.
