| Summary: | A little known Old Latin variant of 2 John 9 ('qui recedit' for ho proagoon) provides an interpretive clue that has been overlooked in the translation and exegesis of this verse. After a survey of modern translations (which tend to over-interpret this verb) and a look at ancient variants, new lexical evidence is adduced to show how ho proagoon functions in the Elder's statement. Finally, a more neutral translation is offered: "Anyone who goes forth [or leaves] and who does not remain in the teaching of the Messiah does not possess God." |
