abounding in thanksgiving.
This isn't a surprising response to 7a-d - being rooted and built up would naturally make someone thankful. Perhaps 7e is another part of the Series, along with 7a, 7b, and 7c.
Mildred Queenie CS
will it be fine kuya if I make 7e the result of 7a,7b & 7c?..I noticed that 7a-c verbs are in passive voice,while the verb in 7d is in active voice..
Brent Karding
Yes, I think that's fine!
Brent Karding
just as you were taught,
I think it's more likely that "just as you were taught" is describing 7c - being established, in the same way in which they were taught. That's because 7c is closer to 7d than 6b is.
Mildred Queenie CS
kuya,I'm confused in this part. Is 7a & 7b not included in connecting to 7d?...I thought it can also be applied kuya..
Mildred Queenie CS
I noticed that there is no comma that will divide the three verbs in 7a-c kuya,but the comma comes after the third verb..then followed by "just as you were thought" kuya..
Brent Karding
Good point. The comma isn't inspired, of course, but it shows that the translators may have seen 7a-c as all being one piece, modified by 7d.
Mildred Queenie CS
yey! thanks kuya for confirming this part..
Brent Karding
Inference is possible for 6a to 6b-7e. "As" could also show Manner-Action. Did you consider that possibility as well?
Mildred Queenie CS
I have chosen inference kuya because I look at the greek interlinear,and it says "because you indeed received"...
