This sentence is difficult to translate because ÒfleshÓ is normally thought of as singular rather than plural in English, and so we need to make the English verb singular to smooth out the translation. 3 This translation takes uiJou: as in apposition to =Ihsou: Cristou:, and adds the English definite article to smooth out the translation. And it takes patrovV as a genitive modified of uiJou:, and adds another English definite article in translation for smoothness. 22 ! Exercise 10 (Track One) 16.
