Infinitive in Ignatius to the Ephesians 3:2
Posted: February 15th, 2019, 8:24 am
Hi all, more infinitive questions (seems to be something I see more on the board at the moment than normal).
How does the infinitive function in the text below?
ἀλλʼ ἐπεὶ ἡ ἀγάπη οὐκ ἐᾷ με σιωπᾶν περὶ ὑμῶν, διὰ τοῦτο προέλαβον παρακαλεῖν ὑμᾶς, ὅπως συντρέχητε τῇ γνώμῃ τοῦ θεοῦ. καὶ γὰρ Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, τὸ ἀδιάκριτον ἡμῶν ζῆν, τοῦ πατρὸς ἡ γνώμη, ὡς καὶ οἱ ἐπίσκοποι οἱ κατὰ τὰ πέρατα ὁρισθέντες ἐν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ γνώμῃ εἰσίν.
It feels like it must be substantival, possibly appositional to Jesus Christ ("our unwavering life")?
