Feb 12, 2017 at 2:54 comment added ktm5124 @brianpck Thanks for your critique. I stuck with the imperfect since that's what the OP chose, and I didn't want to change his translation too much. I used the same reasoning with the pleonasm. Thanks for pointing it out, though, as I didn't know what a pleonasm was, and learned something new. I edited my answer to use two r's in offerret.

Feb 7, 2017 at 15:50 comment added brianpck Concerning tam, I disagree: It is almost always used with an adjective/adverb and/or correlated with quam: I have never seen it correlated with ut in this way.
Feb 7, 2017 at 15:41 comment added brianpck Three brief comments/criticisms: (1) ἠγάπησεν is aorist, so I think a perfect would be better than an imperfect, (2) "unum et solum" is pleonastic and doesn't quite capture "μονογενῆ", (3) the imperfect subjunctive of offero should be offerret (with two r's)

Feb 7, 2017 at 8:16 comment added Der Übermensch Lewis & Short on sic: “With a clause expressing intensity (so both with adjj. and verbs; but far less freq. than ita, tam, adeo), to such a degree, so, so far, etc.”

Feb 7, 2017 at 5:05 comment added ktm5124 @Draconis That's interesting. Thanks! I'm not familiar enough with the difference that I would have a clear preference myself.
Feb 7, 2017 at 5:02 comment added Draconis I personally would prefer tam for "so": to me, it's more emphatic about the quantity. (God loved the world so much that...) But sīc certainly isn't wrong.
