Double Minded?

Lack of uniformity in the way new versions translate Hebrew and Greek words, rendered as "servant" in the KJV, testifies to the insecure foundation on which their choice of words lies. They translate the Hebrew ebed as both 'slaves' and 'servants'. The Greek pais is inconsistently rendered as both 'slaves' and servants. Doulos , the word most often translated 'slaves' by the recent version, becomes 'servants' by those same pens in Revelation 10. Schizophrenia in scholarship strikes again as 'sundoulos' is translated as 'servants' and 'slaves'. When in doubt, as Paul admonishes us, "Abstain from all appearance of evil.. (I Thessalonians 5:22).
