SUMMARY: The English lacks the sophistication to keep up with the depth and elegance of Greek. Learn the real meaning of ρυσεται



ρυσεται = SAVE


"The verb ρυομαι (ruomai) is really the middle deponent of the parent verb ρυω (ruo), to deliver . . . (BUT) English lacking the sophistication to keep up with the depth and elegance of Greek. . .(MISSES THE NUANCES OF THE CONCEPT). . . SO THE REAL MEANING SUGGESTS] that the protector (the subject of our verb) engages in the act of redeeming or saving someone or drawing someone to herself, not because the object understands what's going on or has expressed the desire to be put out of harm's way, but because the subject does."


Two takeaways:

1. God saves us from stuff we don't even know we need to saved from.

2. English lacks the sophistication to to keep us with the depth and elegance of Greek.


What more can I say? There are those who are Greek and those who wish they were Greek.
