Re: The Instantaneous Imperfect???

If one wishes to be pedantically literal, he would use a verb of saying here; however, considering the fact that this is within an ongoing speech, I would think that simply rendering it as "He continued …" might be quite proper.

Re: λάθρᾳ in Matt 1:19

There is one understanding which has not yet been mentioned—probably because it isn't suggested by BDAG. LSJ gives the understanding "involuntarily" for λαθραῖος. If construed in this way, it could indicate that "He determined involuntarily to divorce her." I'm not saying there i...

Re: Matthew 28:19 “ειϛ τό ̓όνομα τοῦ”

This is so common as to almost not require examples, but since we are in Mt, try these “Ὁ δεχόμενος ὑμᾶς ἐμὲ δέχεται, καὶ ὁ ἐμὲ δεχόμενος δέχεται τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με. ὁ δεχόμενος προφήτην εἰς ὄνομα προφήτου μισθὸν προφήτου λήμψεται, καὶ ὁ δεχόμενος δίκαιον εἰς ὄνομα δικαίου μισθὸν δικαίου λήμψεται. ...

Re: The expression: "ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ἐντεῦθεν"

Yes, there is a difference between ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ἐντεῦθεν and ἐντευθεν καὶ ἐκεῖθεν. The first is an adaptation by the Byz Maj scribes in the direction of the Ezek 47.12 passage. The author of the Apocalypse never actually quotes any passage from the OT, but is in the habit of adapting it to suit his ...

Re: The expression: "ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ἐντεῦθεν"

Ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ἐντεῦθεν is the reading of the Byz Maj text. Better is ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ἐκεῖθεν. I get the impression that it is one TYPE of tree, the Tree of Life, reflecting Gen 3 21 Καὶ ἐποίησεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῷ Αδαμ καὶ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ χιτῶνας δερματίνους καὶ ἐνέδυσεν αὐτούς. —22 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ θεός Ἰδοὺ...

Re: 1 Cor 12.16

(g) Repetition of Οὐ. When the second is a single negative, the full force of each is retained. It is seldom that we find two examples of οὐ in the same clause, as in 1 Cor. 12:15 f., οὐ παρὰ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκ τοῦ σώματος, ‘It is not therefore not of the body.’ There are instances of οὐ followed b...

Re: Bible Software - A Help or Hindrance in Reading Greek

I have used Logos bible software for years. In my experience whether it helps or hinders depends on how it is used. I could check everything with the software so that I become dependent upon the software to provide all of the answers. On the other hand, I could do what has been my practice which is ...
