Does Nature
Teach?
I have discovered that only
the ISV and the Wycliffe NT translates 1 Corinthians 11:14-15 as a statement
rather than a question. Why do the other translations reverse the Greek word
order from "Not even does nature teach..." to " Does not even nature
teach..."?
The Greek text
of the passage is not rendered as a question, but rather as a declarative
sentence. Now as to why other translations render the sentence as a
question, we haven't the slightest idea!

this question, along with other questions about the veiling of women in 1
Corinthians 11. The essay was written by the ISV Foundation Director Dr.
William Welty. Or
