1st John 2:28 - Larry Kelsey - 12-02-2003
Shlama Akhay,
Maybe akhan Paul will tell me different, but there seems to be a hint of wordplay between [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]Fwlgd[/font]-(lie,falsity)- in 1st John 2:27 and [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]fgtmd[/font]-(manifest, reveal)-in verse 28- and [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]twylg[/font]-(manifestation, confidence)-also in verse 28.

Shlama Akhi Larry,
There does seem to be a play on the two consonants Gamel and Lamedh. <!-- s
