In translating Coptic John 3:20, I note a possible omission in the Sahidica text, when compared with Horner's text. Sahidica has: 20.ouon gar nim etire...
Thanks for the query. I checked it out. The Sahidica reading agrees here with the text of PPalau 183 by Quecke, upon which I based the John text. I can send...

... Hi Stefan amd welcome to the group. The last full critical edition of the Coptic was Horner which is nearly a century out of date, extremely rare, and so...

Dear Joseph, I agree with you on John 1:1, a breath of fresh air is needed. I am conversant with the Greek grammatical issues here and that one verse alone is...
Thank you very much for both your answers. Being at a very early stage of my learning the coptic language, I am a bit curious as to the translation of the...
The text says *neunoute*, not *peunoute* and the *n.eu* in this verse does not represent the plural bound possessive pronoun. Rather, it represents *ne.(o)u),...
... More telling in this issue is the apparent wording in the proto- Boharic edition. Here is a note also from my introduction to the Sahidica: "In the...
Oh, my misstake =) *Neynoute*, but it still puzzles me why it isn't written nere-ou-noute, but ne- which should require a pronominal suffix, to my extremely...
I've also noticed the prepositions used, and it does strike me how these prepositions more clearly indicate a separation between the Logos and God, than do...
Stefan, Whereas Coptic *nere-* is a conversion base that puts a durative sentence into "past" tense, simple *ne-* can also convert sentences or clauses into...
Stefan, I appreciate the historical value of the Coptic text also. Consider that it was translated at a time when Koine Greek was still a living language and...

Thanks, great news!!! Maybe in time some of our Coptic scholars can be lured away from their fascination with the Gnostic texts, to do a modern translation of...
I have developed the custom of comparing the Coptic text with interesting readings I see or hear from English New Testament versions. Recently Colossians 1:3...
Interesting analysis. Thanks. I noted that UBS4 and NA27 do not support the KJV in the selected text either. Keep in mind the Sahidica source is primarily...
