Re: Difference between Active or Medium of ZAW (live)

Dear friends, I wonder what the difference between the readings in Joh 14,19 and other places could point to, here scribes altered the voice (Active vs. Medium) of ZAW: ἔτι μικρὸν καὶ ὁ κόσμος με οὐκέτι θεωρεῖ, ὑμεῖς δὲ θεωρεῖτέ με, ὅτι ἐγὼ ζῶ καὶ ὑμεῖς ζήσετε. (NA with Active) OR Ἔτι μικρὸν καὶ ὁ ...

Re: Luke 1:5: EGENETO's function

David and Carl, Carl's post further pushed me and some insight ocurred to me. It seems that we have the same grammatical structure both in Lk 1:5-6 and Lk 1:8-9. In Lk 1:8-9, EGENETO introduces a circumstantial temporal clause relative to which ELACE ( ἔλαχε ) in 1:9 begins the main clause. In Lk 1...

Re: Basic rules of syntax. The sense of μυστήριον.

… this does not seem to happen elsewhere in the Pauline corpus. Col 1:27 refers to Christ as a mystery among the gentiles: τὸ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης τοῦ μυστηρίου τούτου ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὅ ἐστιν Χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς δόξης . Although the neuter "mystery” is the antecedent to the relative prono...

Re: Joh 13,35 literal rendering...

Wow, talk about a newb mistake. ἐμοί is the correct accentuation for the emphatic form of the dative pronoun and the nominative plural of ἐμός. The circumflex is used with the genitive of the emphatic, ἐμοῦ... So much for my reputation for absolute infallibility.... hahahaha, I crack myself up!

Re: Knowing the torque ratio of a car doesn't help you drive

ὁμο-μήτωρ does not appear in the referenced passages. Why so? Does anyone know of any Greek passages in which ὁμο-μήτωρ (half-brother by the same mother) and ὁμο-πάτηρ (half-brother by the same father) are used? You can see the referenced passages in Thomas Morell, Lexicon Græco-Prosodiacum olim vu...

Very well stated, Stephen. Your "simplicity" serves you well. Apposition is a good word here... :)

Re: ὁμο-μήτωρ and ὁμο-πάτηρ

I don't know of any Greek passages that use these words, but foreg. means "foregoing" and sq. means "following" (from the Latin sequor, "to follow). It's referencing the previous and following entries in the lexicon.

Re: 1 Timothy 3:16 - ὃς , the grammar of the Critical Text

Steven, please note carefully the purpose for which B-Greek exists. It for those who have studied and are studying Greek. How far have you progressed in your Greek studies since last we spoke about the issue? At that time you told me that you had learned the alphabet, but little more? As to the ques...

Very little doubt that it is, and so it is accented ἐμοί rather than έμοῖ.

Re: 1 Corinthians 14:2

I am embarrassed to admit that I am unfamiliar with his teaching on that verse. I can see, though, how it might be relevant. Because I haven't had time to get acquainted with your style, your comment about only knowing a few Greek words has me stumped. I am proceeding on the assumption that it is f...
