List,
I need some help!
This is a mouthful for a under-achieving Greek student!
PISTEI VOOUMEN KATHRTISQAI TOUS AIWNAS...
I cannot sort our the use of the infinitive KATHRTISQAI. Is it forming a noun phrase with TOUS AIWNAS? In which case I assume that TOUS AIWNAS is the subject of the infinitive. However, how is that to be understood in the larger context with what follows... particularly the infinitive GEGONENAI?
A more practical question...
How is the articular noun to be understood (TOUS AIWNAS)? Is this some sort of idiomatic expression for the universe?
I am totally confused. The Greek of Hebrews is harder than anything else in the NT to me. (Yes I know why, it is some of the best!)
