Re: Summary Table for Beginners

Thanks Jonathan. Mine was a summary of Mathewson (I should have cited my source) which seems to be saying a similar thing but in different ways. (Infinitives) As nouns they are singular in number (even with a plural "subject," e.g., ἐν τῳ λέγειν αὐτούς), neuter in gender (which is obvious...

Re: What is purpose and meaning of τῇ in Gal 2:20?

Let me remove the particle δέ and give you some phrases to consider. What does each of these mean?

1. ζῶ
2. ζῶ οὐκέτι
3. ζῶ οὐκέτι ἐγώ

I'll add δέ back later, linking it to other parts of the context.

P.S. What is your background in Greek?

Re: Summary Table for Beginners

Would you say this table is accurate? What else is missing from this table? I don't think the part about infinitives is accurate. I think you are conflating the "substantiver" with the infinitive. The infinitive is not neuter and singular, the substantiver is. 51.38 The neuter singular ar...

How do you read this phrase? Can you ask your question in terms of the Greek words, not English translations?

Re: What is purpose and meaning of te in Gal 2:20?

Would it read, "by the faith that is in the Son of God..."?--which would make it a pronoun, and not an article? No. You have to look at the Greek to understand the Greek. Guessing at it from English translations simply doesn't work. But the Greek article sometimes does function like an En...

Re: What is purpose and meaning of te in Gal 2:20?

It's not really a relative, but in English we would probably say it something like you did: I live in/by/through faith, that is, the faith… But you do lose the emphasis somewhat that Greek used by fronting the phrase Yes. You can get some of that emphasis and word order back, I think, with a differ...

Update: you can use these links to see full results for the queries we have been discussing. Turn on English glosses if you need them ...
  1. πνεύματι - all instances - probably not the most useful
  2. Objects of λατρεύω
  3. Adverbials with λατρεύω
