Since many languages don’t use air quotes, and Paul didn’t either,
thought this was worth trying. The original seems to be a conditional.
I took the protasis from Meyer at
http://biblehub.com/commentaries/1_corinthians/8-5.htm and checked it
against NIGTC, from which I took the last clause because Meyer’s
apodosis didn’t seem to make sense.
Only GOD’s WORD at http://biblehub.com/1_corinthians/8-6.htm uses
quotation marks, but I don’t think they’re unwarranted. However, "yet
for us" seems to be part of the frame, not the quotation, and GW
agrees, so I’ve moved those words.
