Hello everyone. Back again.
The word play is found in Philemon 1:11. I don't think it has to do with the name for "Onesimus," in the previous verse (vs.10) , after all but I am not sure. The word play is in vs. 11 of Philemon and the 2 words for this "play" are "axreiston" (transliterated) and "euxreistov": "Useless" and "Usefull."
But don't forget the obvious word play in the Greek that everone knows about in Matthew 16:16-18 between Petra and Petros. You know, ". . . I say unto you that you are Peter (Petros) and upon this ROCK (Petra) I will build my church!!
I think there may also be a word play in 1 Cor 1:22 but I will have to check.
That number 7 that I required may now may be meaningless if more word plays in the New TEstament Greek keep popping up.
Kindly,
Mike Karoules
