Re: Is Ὀργίζεσθε in Eph. 4:26 a concesion or command?
a very loose paraphrase poorly worded: "Be opposed to sin and don't do it. Don't let the sun go down on your battle against it This was the exact view of an older preacher/evangelist Dr. Wilfred Fisher whom I knew from the '80's (but posited this view in the '40's) -- his position is contrary ...

Re: Trivia: Who wrote the most words?
Rank these groups of NT books according to the number of words they contain (in your preferred version of the GNT, or by letters if you prefer letters).

Re: Trivia: Is there a NT verse that contains all 24 letters
Yes. Having the digitized text of the SBL GNT in MySQL helps. So in some justifiable sense, I was honing my skills.Jonathan Robie wrote:Kudos - I assume you wrote a program to search for such sentences?

Re: Trivia: Is there a NT verse that contains all 24 letters
Looks like there are two verses in the NT which contain all of the Greek letters: Matthew 5:30 καὶ εἰ ἡ δεξιά σου χεὶρ σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔκκοψον αὐτὴν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ, συμφέρει γάρ σοι ἵνα ἀπόληται ἓν τῶν μελῶν σου καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου εἰς γέενναν ἀπέλθῃ.

Re: SBL Greek New Testament Online
What is your source for glosses? The short answer is that it's a hodgepodge of various works filtered for brevity. It has been over 2 years ago since I worked on the glosses. (My recall is facilitated by going back and reading my twitter feed from that time ;) ). The greatest struggle with the glos...
