O. P. On "Chef" in the French N.T.

1904 144 A letter from O. P. gives ample corroboration from the old standard French Dictionary of the Academy that those who fancy some other sense, and not "head," do not know what they write about. No other sense suits the matter in question. There are other dictionaries of later date and of great repute for research; but nothing to shake that sense. After all, as the Greek is the original, this only is divinely authoritative, and "head" is the only possible sense, as required also by the correlation with body. But when men drift from truth once believed and confessed, they flounder into new follies as higher truths. So did the old Gnostics.
