book of Hebrews: better from Greek, or Aramaic?
#81
Greek mss. for Hebr 11:1 are missing 'as if they were in actuality':
Hebrews 11:1
(Etheridge) Now FAITH is the persuasion concerning things which are in hope,
as if they were in reality [In act] ,
and a revelation of those which are not seen.
(Murdock) Now faith is the persuasion of the things that are in hope,
as if they were in act;
and [it is] the manifestness of the things not seen.
(KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.

//////////////////////////////////////
Greek mss. for 1John 2:20 implausibly say "ye know all things."
1John 2:20
(Etheridge) And you have an anointing from the Holy, and you discern every man.
(Murdock) But ye have an unction from the Holy [One]; and ye discriminate every person.
(Lamsa) But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you are enabled to distinguish between men.
(KJV) But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

//////////////////////////////////////
The KJV for 1John 5:13 uses Greek mss. that have an unnecessary and confusing duplication:

1John 5:13
(Etheridge) These I have written to you,
that you may know that you have the life which is eternal,
who believe in the name of the Son of Aloha.
(Murdock) These things have I written to you,
that ye may know that ye have life eternal,
ye who believe in the name of the Son of God.
(Lamsa) These things I have written to you
who believe on the name of the Son of God;
that you may know that you have eternal life.
(KJV) These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may know that ye have eternal life,
and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

//////////////////////////////////////
1Peter 2:9
The Peshitta says I minister as a priest to the kingdom (of God), while
Greek mss. say I'm part of a royal priesthood.
The Peshitta says I'm part of a redeemed congregation, while
Greek mss. say I'm "for [His-- God's] possession."

1Peter 2:9
(Etheridge) But you are a chosen race, who minister as priests to the kingdom,[Damkahno lemalkutho.]
a holy people, a congregation redeemed
to announce the praises of him who hath called you from darkness to his transcendant light:
(Murdock) But ye are an elect race, officiating as priests of the kingdom;
a holy people, a redeemed congregation;
that ye should proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness to his precious light:

from Interlinear for 1 Peter 2:9
https://biblehub.com/interlinear/1_peter/2-9.htm
You however [are] a race chosen a royal priesthood
a nation holy a people for [His] possession
so that the excellencies you may proclaim of the [One] out of darkness you having called to the marvelous of Him
light

//////////////////////////////////////
Greek mss. for 1Peter 3:20 are missing "in hope of their repentance,"
lacks mention of people entering the ark,
and implausibly have people being "saved by water":
1Peter 3:20
(Etheridge) those who before were disobedient in the days of Nuch;[Or, Nooch.]
while the long-suffering of Aloha commanded that he should make the ark,
upon the hope of their conversion,
and eight souls only entered therein,
and were saved in the waters.
(Murdock) which were formerly disobedient, in the days of Noah,
when the long suffering of God commanded an ark to be made,
in hope of their repentance;
and eight souls only entered into it,
and were kept alive in the waters.

KJV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...;NIV;NABRE
Which sometime were disobedient,
when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing,
wherein few, that is, eight souls
were saved by water.

//////////////////////////////////////
The Aramaic rendering of 2Peter 1:20 might make better sense:
2Peter 1:20
(Etheridge) While this first you know, that every prophecy of the scripture its own solution is not.
[Or, every prophecy the solution of its scripture is not. Cul nebiutho shorio dacthobo diloh lo hovo.]
(Murdock) ye having the previous knowledge, that no prophecy is an exposition of its own text.
(Lamsa) Knowing this first, that not every prophetic writing is made clear in its own book.
(KJV) Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
