Philippians 3:2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. [kjv]
βλεπετε τους κυνας βλεπετε τους κακους εργατας βλεπετε την κατατομην [gnt]
videte canes videte malos operarios videte concisionem [v]
The three word groups all start with the Greek "
K" or "
Kappa" letter. The "
beware" means "
see" or "
observe".
"κυνας" ≈ "dogs" (apparent reference to the Cynics).
"κακους εργατας" ≈ "bad workers" (faith by required works).
"κατατομην" ≈ "concision" (Jews with extra required rules).
In Roman times, the letter "
k" was considered sinister and, in most cases, the Roman "
c", with the same "
k" sound, was used. Thus, "
Caesar" was pronounced as "
Kaiser". Carthage: Latin "
Karthago" as "
new Tyre", "
Punic" as "
Phoenician".
Later, the hard Latin "
c" as "
k" changed to the softer "
c" as "
s" or "
ch" as in "
church". The German word
"die Kirche" ≈ "church".
Matthew 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. [kjv]
Matthew 9:33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. [kjv]
Matthew 9:34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. [kjv]
Matthew 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. [kjv]
Matthew 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. [kjv]
Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; [kjv]
Matthew 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. [kjv]
δεηθητε ουν του κυριου του θερισμου οπως εκβαλη εργατας εις τον θερισμον αυτου [gnt]
rogate … messis … eiciat operarios in messem … [v]
