I was just grading some Greek homework, and I was taken back to my Advanced Biblical Greek course in grad school and could hear, as clearly as if I were sitting around the table, Father animatedly saying to someone who translated ?????? as "reward" in 1 Cor 3:8, "It's not a 'reward'! It's condign payment!"
