<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in jesus quotation of the commandments he uses very
frequently the 2nd person singular future indicative (i.e.lk 10:27,mat 22:39).
why is this form always translated as an imperative?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself (mat
22:39)". would it not be more exactly to translate: "you will..."?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>in about 10 german versions i just found one
(walter jens) who translates not an imperative but "normal future".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>is the futureform normally used as an
imperative?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thank you,</FONT></DIV>
