Re: τίς in Titus 1:6

Sounds like a translation question. The Greek indefinite makes an animate (τις) -- inanimate (τι) distinction, which isn't gendered on masculine or feminine lines (same as English 'someone' 'anyone'). In context, it is in apposition to ἀνήρ, so the indefinite could be rendered "any man" bu...

I think it means he just opened the roll to read it, which went from this OO to this O_O and the passage it was at was the Isaiah passage. Scrolls don't have to kept rolled to the beginning.

There are some mechanisms for correcting our lexica, and an on-line forum like this isn't one of them.

Re: ἐκ λύπης 2 Corinthians 9:7

True, I see Greek as a code to be translated, yet in this thread including the BDAG lexical entry, I see no support for leaping from pain to reluctant or grudging, although it is a small leap. Well, the support for "reluctantly" is listed in the BDAG entry: ἐκ λύπης reluctantly 2 Cor 9:7 ...

For example, there is a scathing review of Porter by Ruijgh in French on this (Mnemosyne, Fourth Series, Vol. 48, Fasc. 3, June 1995, pp. 352-366). M...
