Greek adverb 509 anothen was correctly translated into “from above” in John 3:31, John 19:11, James 1:17, James 3:15 and James 3:17 but was grossly mistranslated into “again” in John 3:3&7. No one has ever been born again subsequent to their belief and faith in God. Human beings are born “from above” subsequent to God’s belief and faith in individual human beings bringing God’s will to fruition.
English “rightly dividing” emboldened in 2Timothy 2:15 was translated from Greek verb 3718 orthotomeo that appears only in 2Timothy 2:15 but God always provides us means of following God’s 2Timothy 2:15, 19-22 directive and “rightly dividing” God’s word of truth by uncovering thousands of years of flesh thoughts and feelings that cover and hide God’s intrinsic spiritual truth. Greek verb 3718 orthotomeo is from a compound of Greek adjective 3717 orthos and Greek adjective 5114 tomos respectively. Greek adjective 3717 orthos that appears only in Acts 14:10 and Hebrews 12:13 respectively as “upright” and “straight” in the sense of a precise 90 degree angle either perpendicularly or horizontally. Greek adjective 5114 tomos was translated into “sharper” in Hebrews 4:12. God designed his King James Bible in conjunction with James Strong’s 1890 Concordance as the greatest story ever told as well as the largest puzzle ever created. An integral piece of God’s puzzle is Ephesians 6:17 “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” “that proceedeth out of the mouth of God”, whereby we mortal flesh human beings must discern between a sword of mortal combat and “the sword of the Spirit”. Greek adjective 5114 tomos was translated into “sharper” in “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” where “twoedged” was translated from Greek adjective 1366 distomos that was also translated into “twoedged” in Revelation 1:16 in the context of Revelation 1:16-18 as well as “with two edges” in Revelation 2:12 in the context of Revelation 2:12-17.
