Exactly!
Even if the Bible is (was) totally inerrant as originally written, it has been translated hundreds of times since then. I remember reading that, in the Hebrew Bible, there is one number of words, but when it was translated to Greek, there was a much higher number of words.
You also do have to think context. So much of Paul is about context. Anyway... thanks for the comments!
