Re: Is this a legitimate translation of Hebrews 1:8?
[Heb 1:8 MGNT] (8) πρὸς δὲ τὸν υἱόν ὁ θρόνος σου ὁ θεός εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος καὶ ἡ ῥάβδος τῆς εὐθύτητος ῥάβδος τῆς βασιλείας σου "your divine throne" This is normally translated as a vocative, and I realize that the vocative and the nominative can share the same form in Classical Gree...

Re: μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε καὶ ψεύδεσθε
In James 3:14 I see μὴ κατακαυχᾶσθε καὶ ψεύδεσθε I'm trying to understand if "you must not boast and you must not lie" is grammatically valid; that is, if the negation applies to both imperatives. Thanks in advance! Considering the context, one could hardly see ψεύδεσθε as a positive impe...

Re: Map of Roman Empire in Greek
Check out this map of the Roman Empire in AD 117 with Greek names ! I first saw it posted here . It appears to be the work of this wikipedia contributor . It appears to be a translation of this map . I only checked a few of the names to verify that they were actually Ancient Greek names, not just M...

Re: Romans 1:1. Own translation. Grammar check
Thank you Barry, (1) Yes, I understood the “problem”. I am glad I am on track, so far. … The context is interesting (!), but I am not presenting my interpretation here. (I can speak in some depth about how “into” makes perfect sense, in the context…) (2) I recall many steps in the decision to trans...

Re: Form of the Word Πολύς in Matthew 24:12
Matthew 24:12: "Καὶ διὰ τὸ πληθυνθῆναι τὴν ἀνομίαν ψυγήσεται ἡ ἀγάπη τῶν πολλῶν ." The majority of Bible translations which I have checked render the last word as “many,” whereas there are also many translations which use the comparative form “most.” At least two translations render the w...
