I hear you, Julie. I do study the originals when I attempt translations like this and occasionally even consult scholars, but I failed to re-check this one, years old, before posting and am not proud of that. I did notice the filler and repetitions and the “at least” missing from the last line. Thanks for all the good advice and for reminding me about the Greek Word Study Tool, which I’ve used but forgotten. I’ll see what I can do.
