all over. Last night slept first rate. Got up a new feller felt first rate & quit well. But this afternoon attacked with a pain in the side, hurts me some, but will probably get over it by tomorrow. I have got a Coat for $13.00, a hat for $3.00 After this week, direct letters to me to Turner or Turner Village, and write frequently besides, do ye hear?
I received a letter from Milo on Aug. 23d from you on the 25th and another on the 30th. As for your passages Mat. 16 - 22&3 And Peter took him and began (word in Greek looks like iemiereimav?) to blame, or reproach, or sometimes V. 7 strictly enjoin simple future strong negative him, saying, be favorable to thyself, Lord; this will by no mean be to you. But he having turned round, said to Peter, (word in Greek looks like vpaye) steal away, or withdraw, or go away, (word in Greek looks like oriso) behind (nothing else) me, Satan ( call to suit yourself), (word in Greek looks like sxavsahov noa ei) you are my stumbling block, or cause of offence: because you word in Greek looks like psoveie understand not the things of God, but the things of men. I know no better translation of word in Greek looks like psoveie, than understand, you see it differs from our version, aso last of 22 verse. The word word in Greek looks like vrraye, Upage, Sup. of upago, I think is not susceptible of the meaning, follow, or come after. I have no critical knowledge of the N.T. Greek, but if it was so used even there, my Lexicon would show 'Matthew' has no 18th verse! It is a familiar passage, but I have no Concordance at hand, & dont find it. John 3, 18 & 19th verses together attain something like those words. The words rendered judge and condemn, judgment & condemnation, are Greek noun word in Greek looks like xeisis, and verb word in Greek looks like xeivos seem successful of both meanings. I am not critical enough, especially on Bible greek to decide. The word word in Greek looks like ceisis is exactly the same however. The exact original meaning appears the act of decision, passing sentence, trying as a Judge.
[left-hand side] I am ashamed to read such a letter but cannot stop to write another. I go to Turner tomorrow Sept. 5th with a Turner fellow who is here. Commencement is over. I can not stop now to tell you of it & send order Busy.
