In 1 Cor 7:26 Paul speaks about the fact that there are certain things
that the Corinthians should not do DIA THN ENESTWSAN ANAGKHN. I'd
be grateful if List Members would comment on just what this ENESTWSAN ANAGKHN
is. I'm aware of the line of scholarship, reflected in such translations
of the _expression_ as is found in the NRSV ( "in view of the impending
crisis") which takes ENESTWSAN ANAGKHN to be the "end of the world"
and uses 1 Cor 7:29, 31 as evidence in support of this view. But MUST this
be the what Paul has in mind? Has anyone taken a position that the
ENESTWSAN ANAGKHN which Paul speaks of is something far more mundane
and local? And if so, what is it?
Thanks in advance. Yours, Jeffrey
