2 Cor 1:3 articulation within a Granville-Sharp construction
In 2 Cor 1:3 ὁ πατὴρ τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν καὶ θεὸς πάσης παρακλήσεως, why does τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν take the article but πάσης παρακλήσεως does not?

Here's another example: Mark 6:3 ό υιός τής Μαρίας καί αδελφός Ιάκωβου. The first one takes the article but the second does not.

Re: 2 Cor 1:3 articulation within a Granville-Sharp construction
In your first example, I think because it's not unusual for feminine abstract nouns to omit the article, and particularly in the oblique cases. In the second, ἀδελφός is clearly appositional to the already articular ὁ υἱός, so no need to repeat the article.

Or did Stephen mean τής Μαρίας ~ Ιάκωβου?Barry Hofstetter wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2020, 7:35 am ἀδελφός is clearly appositional to the already articular ὁ υἱός, so no need to repeat the article.
Re: 2 Cor 1:3 articulation within a Granville-Sharp construction
Yeah, I was thinking this.
Only pattern with these two are the genitives are either articular or anarthrous if the governing substantive is also (θεὸς/αδελφός), hence Stephen's question.
Are there any other places with this pattern, or just these two?

Talking about the names Mary and James. The ἀδελφός is not articular because it's in a Granville-Sharp construction.Barry Hofstetter wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2020, 7:35 amIn the second, ἀδελφός is clearly appositional to the already articular ὁ υἱός, so no need to repeat the article.

Re: 2 Cor 1:3 articulation within a Granville-Sharp construction
Yeah, it's almost like the individual nouns in a Granville-Sharp construction obey Apollonius' Canon.
Most G-S constructions don't have modifiers so these two are the clearest. There are possible counter-examples like Heb 3:1 τὸν άπόστολον καὶ άρχιερέα τῆς ὁμολογίας ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν, but this could be a parsing issue.

Re: 2 Cor 1:3 articulation within a Granville-Sharp construction
Is this because both substantives don't have modifiers, thus the only modifier in a G-S- clause will be articular?Stephen Carlson wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2020, 7:08 pmMost G-S constructions don't have modifiers so these two are the clearest.

If it was phrased something like:
τὸν άπόστολον τῆς ὁμολογίας καὶ άρχιερέα [πίστεως] ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν...
With two modifiers, it would've looked a bit more like this.
There any G-S with at least one modifier which isn't articular?
(Guess it won't help that some of the G-S- constructions are the modifiers - Acts 20:28 (majority reading); Eph. 5:5 etc.)

Re: 2 Cor 1:3 articulation within a Granville-Sharp construction
Of course you haven't heard of it, because I made it up. If you look at Smyth, he states that abstract nouns generally do have the article. But using παράκλησις as an example:Stephen Carlson wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2020, 7:01 pmNever heard of this rule.Barry Hofstetter wrote: ↑April 3rd, 2020, 7:35 am In your first example, I think because it's not unusual for feminine abstract nouns to omit the article, and particularly in the oblique cases.

ὁ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος δίκαιος καὶ εὐλαβὴς προσδεχόμενος παράκλησιν τοῦ Ἰσραήλ...(Lk 2:25)
Why no article? Would τὴν παράκλησιν mean anything different?
Now my rule (which you so summarily dismissed, humph) is based on impression formed over years of reading the language, and not on any scientific analysis, but it works for me... .
As for the second, I wonder if it isn't simply an Apollonius' Canon thing.
Snark comment: Why is it that nobody outside of a narrow range of NT people ever talk about Granville Sharp?
