Recovering Greek?

Symbolon, now this. Linguistic appropriation. Too bad Latins don't return to studying Scripture and theology in Greek too; it would help them see how their tradition diverges from that of the Byzantines/Greeks.

"Till It"?

An appropriate translation of וְכִבְשֻׁ֑הָ? Or a prejudice of a civilization based upon tillage agriculture? Heaven forbid that such a translation would be used as an argument against the truthfulness of Revelation...

πνευματικὰς

I was thinking about πνευματικὰς in 1 Peter 2:5, translated as "spiritual" in the RSV CE.

According to Strong's Concordance:

4152 pneumatikós (an adjective, derived from 4151 /pneúma, "spirit") – spiritual; relating to the realm of spirit, i.e. the invisible sphere in which the Holy Spirit imparts faith, reveals Christ, etc.

In how many instances in the Greek text might the translation "of the Spirit" or "pertaining to the Spirit" or "Spiritual" be warranted? Is it warranted here?
