Xairein,
Bill Mounce uses the following question from Matt. 6:28 as an example of a
deliberate subjunctive:
KAI PERI ENDUMATOS TI MERIMNATE?
I know that the 2nd pl Pres. Act. Subj. of -AW contract verbs is identical
to the Pres. Act. Ind. morphologically, but I was wondering why MERIMNATE
should be regarded as subjunctive. None of the Greek morphology databases I
have parse it as subjunctive.
Is there something about the syntax/semantics of the question that argues
for parsing it as subjunctive?
Thanks.
Philip Brown
