Marriage of two minds
Here’s a thought on the history of language that I’ll bet most of us have never had:
“Judged by the Greek of Plato and Demosthenes, the NT is full of barbarisms and solecisms; but the marriage between pure Hebrew and pure Attic that resulted in Hellenistic Greek, between the mind of the East and the mind of the West, was the linguistic realization of the divine idea that salvation is from the Jews but intended for all humankind.” (Bavinck, Reformed Dogmatics, p. 1.434)
