I’m trying to figure out what passage I should translate tomorrow, and I figured I’d put the question to you. I can either translate something from the New Testament of from the Apostolic Fathers.
Is there any favorite passage from these that you would like to see? Or maybe something where you’re wondering about how I may translate a particular item? Let me know and I’ll see what I can do with it.

Great scholar interviews. I think you should email/internview Bart Ehrman.
Tried, but he is busy working on his next book at the moment. I might try again at a later point though.
Or you could spend your time in a more worthwhile manner and learn Hebrew (wink). Just kidding.
Haha! Now why would I do that when I could simply buy the LXX?
This makes me cry. Hard.
I propose you translate whatever is the most controversially translated text. However, I have no idea what that is.
Actually, I think it would be a good idea to translate the hymns and creeds of the NT. E.g. Phi. 2:5-11; Col.1:15-20; 1 Peter 3:18-22; 1 Cor. 15: 3-7, etc.
I think I’m going to go with one of those. You’ll see which one later today.
John: It’s just a little joke. No need to cry.
Awesome. If you choose Phil. 2 I think there might be some substantial problems wording verse 6.
