I would be grateful for any help on the translation of the following:
Luke 11.28: MENOUN MAKARIOI hOI AKOUONTES TON LOGON TOU QEOU KAI FULASSONTES.
The standard translation is "Blessed *rather* are those who hear the word of
God and keep it". But I am wondering whether it might be legitimate to
translate more along the lines of "Indeed -- and blessed moreover are those . .
." or some such thing. There seems to be some ground for doing this, e.g. Rom.
10.18 where MENOUNGE might reasonably be translated "Indeed . . ." or Phil.
3.8, also MENOUNGE, "Indeed I count everything as loss . . ."
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Mark
