Re: Gal 1:11 γνωρίζω

But skewing the nuance off-center in another direction is not getting it right. Getting the nuance right when translating a word or phrase indicating the relationship between two parties is difficult but important. I really think that's why Stephen raised this question in the first place. Carl, I m...

Re: James Earl Ardino

Welcome to B-Greek James. The Greek of the New Testament is indeed considered a "dead language" but,there are some on this site that are interested in speaking and writing Koine to better internalize the language, so in some respects it is presently being spoken. As a side note, I was watc...

Re: Gal 1:11 γνωρίζω

That may indeed be true, Carl, but it does have the advantage of not reminding them of what they possibly already know. And it does have an air of authority which you point out Paul was seeking to establish. Neither does it follow the crowd of other translations, many influenced by the AV which so i...

Re: Gal 1:11 γνωρίζω

The New World Translation renders it; "I put YOU on notice,". A translation you're unlikely to have in your library but interesting to have even if you find it tendential. BTW, I got to be a student of J. D. BeDuhn for a time when I worked at Northern Arizona University. I hope he found me...

Re: Mark 9:10 ἐκράτησαν πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς

What is the meaning of κρατέω in this phrase? Jonathan, The Greek text is ambiguous as reflected by the different translations, some of which relate τὸν λόγον to Jesus' command not to relate the matter to anyone and some to the saying of Jesus about his rising from the dead. Do you think it better ...

Re: Acts 2,46

My question is: is it possible to regard "daily" only in reference to the meetings in the temple or is it obvious (my view so far) that the breaking of the bread is modified by "daily" as well. καθ' ἡμέραν τε προσκαρτεροῦντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ κλῶντές τε κατ' οἶκον ἄρτον, με...

Re: οι καθ ενα

David, I just want to take the time to say that I learn a lot from your observations and questions. Here are some comments from Robertson that I hope are helpful in advancing this thread. Likely you have already come to a conclusion similar to that of Robertson’s below and are seeking out how common...

Re: 1Pe1:16 - why not imperative?

OT law codes take two forms, casuistic and epideictic. Ed, Don't you mean apodictic? In any case I don't think adding the words "casuistic" and "apodictic" are of much help linguistically. Ade, Here are some facts about the imperative that I hope are helpful: The imperative alwa...

Re: Telicity of ἐλθεῖν (ἕρχομαι)?

Stephen, As for me I'm working my way through the works you referenced, but I recently read a paper written by Tony Pope in 1984 dealing with verbs of motion in Mark, which was eye opening for me. http://www.sil.org/acpub/repository/START12.pdf Your discussion has brought to mind the translation of ...
