Re: Heb 3:5: Translating the Future Passive Participle

Carl, Well, I did raise the issue of translation but only to help me to get a handle on this specific type of participle because I am teaching participles (some of them anyway) in an exegesis course as that is a requirement of the course, even though it is not on Greek, and have not yet found an exp...

Re: Heb 3:5: Translating the Future Passive Participle

Stephen, If the translation said "the things that will be spoken," it would mean that, from the point of view of the author of Hebrews, the event of those things to be spoken is in the future from the vantage point of Hebrews. The translation "were to be spoken later" seems to me...

Heb 3:5: Translating the Future Passive Participle

In Heb 3:5, the last clause reads ὡς θεράπων εἰς μαρτύριον τῶν λαληθησομένων. I've looked in several grammars, e.g., GGBB, and not found a description of or strategy for translating a Future passive participle. Of course, future participles are fairly rare in the NT, so perhaps this is just not that...

Re: Teaching participles outside of a Greek course

Sorry all. I thought I had replied to your much-appreciated assistance. So better late than never, thanks for the help, especially the book chapter. I'm still not sure how teaching students about participles is going to have an immediate payoff, but thanks much for this assistance. Ken Litwak Azusa ...

Teaching participles outside of a Greek course

I'm teaching an exegesis course online in the Summer at the M.Div. level. I was told that the students will have had one semester of Greek, and will know the finite verb in all tenses, but that I will have to teach them participles! It's not a course on Greek and I don't plan to devote a course lect...

When to supply a verb with a Genitive or Dative

I am analyzing a translation to revise it potentially. In Rom 1:6 it renders KLHTOI IHSOU, which some translations (ESV, NET) render as "called to belong to Jesus." Rom 1:7 renders KLHTOIS (AGIOIS as "called to be saints." To me that introduces an implicit condition into the phra...

Re: ARCISUNAGWGOS References

Thanks for the responses. I am really looking for something contemporary with or earlier than the Gospels, which means no later than A.D. 90 (IMHO). Justyn Martyr is not of much help in this case. In what I am working on, it has really struck me the way scholars attach to a word, like this one, func...

ARCISUNAGWGOS References

It appears from BDAG and EDNT that the NT is the only place where ARCISUNAGWGOS,"synagogue leader," occurs. The big LSJ 9th ed. lists two inscriptions as well, one in IGi4, and one in Eu.Marr. I have two questions. First, I found IG in the abbreviations but not Eu.Marr. Can someone please ...
