[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry for being tangential, but I say let him who says "Let he ..." learn some grammar.  Either "He who is without sin, let him ..." or "Let him who is without sin ..." is correct, but I have no idea why their bastard offspring "Let he who is without sin ..." is so popular.  Does anyone have a suggestion as to the reason(s)?

Note:  perhaps this should be a separate thread, but I would not know whether to put it in Religion or Off Topic.  Maybe we need a thread called Nit Picking.[/quote]

Fellow nitpicker--excellent post.[/quote]

Another fellow nitpicker. I thought this might be King James Version with some anachronistic language from the 1600s - but no. Here's King James: "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."  In fact, when I googled "let he who is without sin" I got a bunch of returns for "let [i]him [/i]who is without sin."

I dug some more and found the obvious source. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, season 5/episode 7, is called "Let He Who is Without Sin...."  ;) [/quote]
