But I had also read the arguments for some of those untranslated Greek conjunctions. But Mounce is spot on. Yes, those "for's" can become annoying. Yes, "because" instead of "for" in some cases. Yep. For example, the HCSB has gone for "because" at Matt. 4:17 instead of "for" as in other versions. Jeff, it’s one of the reasons why I never liked the NIV. I felt is was too truncated.
