Examples of these explanatory words are: &ldquo;continuously; constantly; repeatedly; habitually; progressively,&rdquo; accordingly as the contexts suggest. Other examples are: &ldquo;keep on; continue; one-after-another&rdquo;&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; Rendering the aorist tense (punctiliar action) as either, or both, a simple past tense, or as a simple present tense &ndash; a tense that simply presents the fact of the action, apart from whether the action was/is completer or incomplete; as a sudden, or point in time, or snapshot, of the whole action; as indefinite as to kind of action (whether ongoing or completed) &ndash; depending on the context&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; Rendering the perfect tense as a completed action of the past which continues in effect on into the present time of the writing of the text&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; Rendering each verse in boldface, for one complete translation of the verse&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; Inserting other well-attested manuscript readings, in brackets&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; A translation that is on the literal side of the literal-to-paraphrase spectrum&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; Offering an additional, interpretive paraphrase where the literal rendering of the Greek text seems awkward, or uncertain&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; For continuity of the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures, inserting &ldquo;[= Yahweh]&rdquo; into OT quotes, where that Name was in the Hebrew texts&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; Rendering many Greek terms by their linguistic elements (morphemes) to present the linguistic ideas behind the roots/stem and prefixes from which the words were built&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; Supplies optional functioning of noun and adjective cases, where the context supports these options&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; Offering multiple prepositions for the potential functions of noun cases, in prepositional phrase where there is no expressed preposition in the text; example: &ldquo;to, for, by, in/among; with&rdquo; before a noun in the dative case; or, with the genitive/ablative case, offering readings that indicate a possessive noun, a kind of relationship with the noun, the noun indicating a source, or, apposition (definition). Examples are: &ldquo;the Word of God; God&rsquo;s Word; the Word relating to or pertaining to God; the Word from God; the Word, which is God.&rdquo;&nbsp; All of these options are possible from a single spelling of a noun in the genitive/ablative case, or in the dative case&nbsp; <strong>∙</strong>&nbsp; This translation offers the reader the opportunity to participate with the Spirit in the various potential readings of a word, a phrase, a clause, a verse &ndash; so long as they make sense to the immediate and greater contexts.
