Lamsa's translation is the only one that makes sense.
As a native speaker he understood the aramaic text more intimately than did Etheridge. Lamsa did not "convert" anything....
The Greek text and the KJV translation is nonsense. Suffering does not lead to sinlessness.
The Etheridge version is trivial. Sinning does stop after death.
Lamsa's translation suggests that we need to subdue out sinful human nature.
