Re: Ephesians 1:4
Thank you for your very insightful thoughts Mr. Carlson. I personally don't think that translations must be literal. I understand the thoughts of many on here whom say it is more preferable to understand what the author is attempting to convey in thought, rather than what the words literally transla...

Ephesians 1:4
καθὼς ἐξελέξατο ἡμᾶς ἐν αὐτῷ πρὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἁγίους καὶ ἀμώμους κατενώπιον αὐτοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ even as He elected us in him before the constitution of the world [εἶναι ἡμᾶς] holy and unblemished before Him in love. My question is on the phrase εἶναι ἡμᾶς. ἡμᾶς is 1st person, plural number...

Distinction of κράτος, ἰσχύς, and δύναμις
In Ephesians 1:19, κράτος and δύναμις are translated as power (A.V.). I'm trying to determine the actual difference in meaning between them.
Any thoughts?

Re: Participial antecedent
I usually reserve the term "antecedent" for pronouns. Like adjectives, participles do not have to refer to another entity. For example, they can be substantivized with the article. Stephen You're right. Maybe I should just explain what I mean. Does every participle modify something, wheth...

Participial antecedent
In Koine Greek, must every participle have an antecedent (whether implicit or explicit in the text itself)?

Re: ὁ Ἰησοῦς· The article with proper names
Not always. Compare יְהֹושִׁיעַ (yehoshia) in Psalms 116:6, "he saved me."RandallButh wrote:Evidence? The Hebrew language.
The Yeho- part of names is a prefix, like yehoshafat, where shafat is the word/root.
yehoyaqim, where yaqim is a word.

Re: ὁ Ἰησοῦς· The article with proper names
deut 32.44 הושע is called Ιησους. that is because Joshua is called Hoshea in Num 13.8, 16, and Deut 32.44. From a strictly philological viewpoint, hoshea and yehoshu` are not from the same verbal root . y.sh.`. against sh.w.`. You don't mind if I ask for some evidence to support your assertion, do ...

Re: ὁ Ἰησοῦς· The article with proper names
This is your opinion, since the Greek name Ἰησοῦς was used throughout the Septuagint to translate יהושע (Yehoshua), and ישוע (Yeshua) appeared late in the Tanach and is also translated in the same way. There's certainly no way to be sure what Jesus' Hebrew or Aramaic name may have been, so this sho...

ὑπὸ νόμον
I believe ὑπὸ νόμον (ὑπὸ + accusative νόμον) means "subject to the Law." Consider LSJ's entry on ὑπὸ, C, II, in which it is written, II. of subjection, control, dependence, never in Hom., once in Hdt., “ὑ. βασιλέα δασμοφόρος” 7.108; “ὑ. σφᾶς ποιεῖσθαι” Th.4.60, cf. Pl.R.348d, Arist. HA488a...
