        DefinitionShort: a human being (normally an adult)

        Glosses: ['(in the singular) person', 'human being', 'individual', '(in the plural) people', 'persons', 'mankind']

        Comments: In {S:04001403500010} (ἐπιγνόντες αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ‘when the people of that place recognized him’) one may argue that οἱ ἄνδρες refers specifically to males, but the context would seem to indicate that the reference is to people in general. In translation a pronominal expression may frequently be employed when ἀνήρ[b] occurs in the text, for example, ‘when those who lived in that place recognized him’.|It is not uncommon in languages for a term which is often used to refer to an adult male to be employed also in a generic sense of ‘person.’ This is especially true when such terms are used in the plural form.|In a number of instances, generic meanings of receptor languages have not been recognized as such, since translators have assumed that such receptor-language terms refer only to members of a particular tribe or group (because they have been found only in specific contexts), while in reality such terms often designate people in general. One must, however, be on the alert for seemingly generic terms which refer only to the so-called ‘in-group,’ that is to say, members of a particular tribe, society, or community.

        Comments: {L:ἀνήρ} in the meaning of ‘husband’ is normally clearly marked by context, usually involving a so- called ‘possessive marker,’ though in some contexts such as {S:04300401700034} and {S:04001901000024}, the distinctions in meaning are quite clear, but it is only from each individual context that one can determine whether {L:ἀνήρ} means simply ‘man’ (see {D:9.24}) or ‘husband.’ See also discussion at {D:10.54}.

        Glosses: ['the inner being', 'the inmost being', 'inwardly']

        Comments: In a number of languages it is quite impossible to speak of the psychological faculty of a person as being merely ‘that which is within.’ It is frequently necessary to refer to a particular organ of the body, for example, ‘the heart’ or ‘the liver’ or ‘the spleen.’ In some languages, however, one may refer to this faculty as being ‘the person who stands inside’ or ‘the real person’ or even ‘the other person.’|In {S:04201702100026} the phrase ἐντὸς ὑμῶν in the statement ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν look, God’s reign is within you may constitute a reference to the same inner being designated by the phrases ὁ ἔσω and ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ. On this basis some scholars have suggested that the phrase ἐντὸς ὑμῶν can be interpreted as a potentiality for participation and hence be translated within your grasp, but it is more likely that one should understand the phrase ἐντὸς ὑμῶν in {S:04201702100026} as a spacial relationship, for example, ‘in your midst’ or ‘among you’ (see {D:83.9}).

        Comments: This title ‘Son of Man’ served not only to affirm but also to hide Christ’s Messianic role.|In a number of languages there are serious complications involved in a literal translation of υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ‘Son of Man.’ In the first place, this is likely to be understood in a more or less literal sense of ‘son of a man’ and thus a denial of the virgin birth. Such is particularly true in languages which have two words for ‘son,’ one meaning ‘son of a man’ and the other, ‘son of a woman.’ Under such circumstances, a literal translation would be a clear denial of the virgin birth.
