Another fun class. Lots of translation time. Had a couple of examples of places where you can see emphases in the Greek text which would be very difficult to be keyed in to using only the English texts, such as the verb tenses/moods concerning "sin" (we went through 1 John 1:7-2:2).

We had an interesting optional homework piece which I will probably blog on later.
