It's my first time to post something, so here goes:
1. 2 Cor. 6:3 Mhdemian en mhdeni
1.1 I think that it's an idiom, but how does it work in a sentence? I know that context is crucial to use but I guess I'd like to know if there are other places where this is used and how.
1.2 How should it be translated so that it doesn't lose the weight of the word being repeated?
1.3 How should it be traslated into English to get closest to the idea expressed?
2. I don't know if anyone has ever tried this but, I'd like your advice on translating passages so that they reflect the results of my exegesis. Of course they are not intended for public reading. I'd like to know how I can retain the grammatical analysis and exegetical points I may have come across. I've been trying to do this, but I end up making my translation and then coming up with bullet points to cover the phrases I want to give attention to, ugh. I came across Harris' Exegetical Guide on Colossians and Philemon and saw that he sought to do something like that at the end of each section, but I'd like to able to do it for myself.
3. I bought a copy of Chapman and Shogren's booklet for my GNT and was curious about possible typos (textual problems?) in the conjugation of luw. Does anyone know where I can get the complete (inerrant?) tables (indicating the moveable nu please!) of the luw conjugation? Any downloadable pdfs on the net?
4. I am thinking about teaching Biblical Greek to a group of interested people (I know, I know, a little learning is dangerous.) I want to use a tools-approach (heard of that?). Has anyone tried that? Can anyone point me to good resources for this? Mounce's book ("Greek for the rest of us) isn't out yet so ... Anyway, I'd like to find out where I can get materials for these potential students - (micro-greeks?)
Sorry for the long post. First time. So many things I wanted to ask, but I guess the other queries will have to wait.
