Hebrew And Greek Are Highly Inflected Languages

Romans 14:2 For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

English “one” emboldened in Romans 14:2 was translated from the Greek generic pronoun 3739 hos which was reasonably translated into the English pronoun “whosoever” in Matthew 5:19, 21, 22, 31 and 32. I bring this to your attention because the English phrase “that’s Greek to me” is predicated upon the fact that Hebrew and Greek are highly inflected languages meaning that word meanings change predicated upon the grammatical subject performing a verb’s action and their grammatical objects receiving the action performed, which dictates the masculine and feminine nouns respectively. The Greek generic pronoun 3739 hos has been translated into 1,420 disparate English words by flesh translators not “chosen” by God.
