Greetings,
I am attempting to extract the meaning of the continuous passive participle
and surrounding verb forms packed into Hebrews 2:18.
EN hW FAR PEPONQEN AUTOS PEIRASQEIS
perfect 3s ptc aor pass nms
for in that he has Himself suffered being tempted
DUNATAI TOIS PEIRAZOMENOUS BOHQHSAI
pres/continuous ptc continuous pass aor inf
He is able to come to the aid of the ones undergoing temptation
I currently see that PEIRAZOMENOUS expresses something that takes place
continuously
BOHQHSAI being aorist focuses on the aspect of aid
PEPONQEN that the experience of suffering has not been forgotten
PEIRASQEIS- I am uncertain of how the aorist aspect is related to the time
of PEPONTHEN
DUNATAI - I am uncertain what the present tense modifies.
Any ideas?
