Surely you can see how after enough nagging in the first degree, that the second is merely a logical progression. What's the point in articulating an argument that takes credit in someone else's thought? Sure, I can agree with what someone else philosophized and utilize it rhetorically: but in lockstep I have been conditioned to attribute what is someone else's to their own person.

This is why you never take instruction from roasties, lads. They only think they know what they want until you appease them and they are even more unhappy than they were before you severed your testicles (for obvious reasons: no woman wants a literal cuck). Sad!

New Testament should be read in Koine Greek. Greek should be studied specifically for this reason, with an added benefit of shedding some light on the pagan Greek philosophers. Classical Hebrew (and, to a lesser extent, Aramaic) ought to be studied to some degree to expand one's understanding of the Old Testament, but the Greek Septuagint is more than sufficient for most purposes. Far superior to the latin Vulgate. English translations are not for the truly educated, but are only acceptable because they give broad access to the plebeian class. In this sense, the KJV is decent and has made a solid contribution to the world. But if your understanding comes only from the KJV you are, sadly, a pleb.
