I have seen some discussion of the way articles are to be translated, but
hopefully this will question will help others like myself rather than
repeating what has already been explained :)
My question is concerning the significance of the use of articles within the
phrases of 1 Peter 1:11. As I am translated this passage I notice that the
construct goes from the average "article right before the noun" like hO
QEOS, to more of a "article, preposition, pronoun, noun" order like THS EIS
hUMAS CARITOS, or TO EN AUTOIS PNEUMA CRISTOU.
I just want to know if there is any significance to this (especially because
this is the first time the writer does this within this writing) or if goes
back to the way the Greek article has a unique function within it's
language.
Thanks for the help.
