I would call the following examples as "genitive of source". Is there
such thing and appropriate in the examples?
Ex. #1 Lk 11:32
ANDRES NINEUITAI ANASTHSONTAI
EN TH KRISEI META THS GENEAS TAUTHS
KAI KATAKRINOUSIN AUTHN
hOTI METENOHSAN EIS TO KHRUGMA IWNA
KAI IDOU PLEION IWNA WDE
TO KHRUGMA IWNA (4th line) preaching of Jonah (- unambiguous 'of';
subjective genitive).
Ex. #2 Phil 1:25
KAI TOUTO PEPOIQWS OIDA
hOTI MENW KAI PARAMENW PASIN hUMIN
EIS THN hUMWN PROKOPHN KAI CARAN THS PISTEWS
THS PISTEWS (last line): Most has rendered it as 'in faith' - how so?
It should be understood as 'from faith'.
Ex. #3 Mt 26:13
AMHN LEGW UMIN
hOPOU EAN KHRUCQH TO EUAGGELION TOUTO
EN hOLW TW KOSMW
LALHQHSETAI KAI O EPOIHSEN hAUTH EIS MNHMOSUNON AUTHS
MNHMOSUNON AUTHS (in the last line) - usually understood as memory of
her; memorial to her (objective genitive) (remembering her).
I believe the text is about and meant for 'remembrance of Jesus' not
'of her'. Her act should be 'source' of remembering..
I appreciate your comments.
