John 1:1-18

by Doug Mason in

i spent a couple of hours trying to work out the poetic structure of john 1:1-18. i have made my first rough draft available as a word document so that others can amend it for themselves.

the text i used is from the niv.

it will be interesting to see the poetic structures produced by analyses of other translations.. http://www.jwstudies.com/chiasms_of_john_1_vv_1_to_18.docx.

I used to be known as a word warrior, but lately i'm a word wimp.

LOL @ Nancy.

Good afternoon, Coco.

I DID have to cheat with the word lupin - a pale purple flowering plant of which the Texas Bluebonnet is a member.

Lilac and larkspur are also light purple flowering plants.

The queenly consort and her trusted eunuch set a trap for the despotic satrap.

Good morning!

I just learned there were two villages named Bethany in the time of Jesus of Nazareth; I knew there were two named Jericho, but this is a nice little eye opener.

JW.org.

They've finally capitulated and admitted that the internet is not as big and bad as they once thought.

I remember seeing the Tetragrammaton on someone's station wagon (remember them?).

I inquired about it, and, voila!

Next thing, I'm a JW.

LOL.

i'm not sure if there is anyone here anymore that remembers stealth, but if there is i just wanted to pass on the news that he passed away from a heart attack almost 2 years ago now.. i just found out myself today.

he had moved overseas and we lost contact.

he was in an area that he didn't always have reliable internet connections, so it wasn't uncommon for me to not hear from him for long stretches.

I remember.

He welcomed me when I first posted 7 years ago.

May he rest in peace until that great Day.
