Hi b-greekers,
The question is, Carl, WHICH lexicon is right? While Little G&D and BAGD
define PARECOMAI as <<get for oneself>> in Acts 19:24, BDAG drops this
definition and makes this verse the first NT reference in section 3 b
which contains the definition, <<grant TINI TI someth. to someone>>.
Apparently Mr. Danker has had a change of mind. But which lexicon is
correct? Is this another example to add to Rod's errata list?
Yours in His grace,
