Wouldn't Acts 28:6 be relevant here?

Re: 1 Cor 9:5

Alan: I don't think this sentence in itself implies either that Paul is married or that he's unmarried. If all we had was this sentence as a papyrus fragment, we could read it either to the effect that "I'm not married because I choose to be unmarried, not because I don't have the right to marr...

Re: 1 Tim 2:12 - should both infinitives apply to ANHR?

Regardless of the meaning of αὐθεντεῖν, what about Nyland's take on the syntax? Is it really possible to understand αὐθεντεῖν as the content of the activity of διδάσκειν in this context? I find her notes unconvincing and am wondering what other, more-experienced readers think of the viability specif...

Re: 1 John 4:19 - αγαπωμεν

Is it common to use the pronoun ἡμεῖς with the hortatory subjunctive? If so, does it tend to precede or follow the verb?

αλλ εβασιλευσεν ο θανατος απο αδαμ μεχρι μωσεως και επι τους μη αμαρτησαντας επι τω ομοιωματι της παραβασεως αδαμ ος εστιν τυπος του μελλοντος

Must the antecedent of ος be αδαμ or can it be μωσεως?

Re: Placement of adverb

In prepositional clauses the head noun is often anarthous because the preposition already implies some specific entity, so it is common to see " preposition + noun + article + genitive noun ". How exactly does a preposition imply some specific entity? Can you cite some NT examples of the ...

Re: Placement of adverb

Placement of οὐκετι is fine although you need to add an article before ἁμαρτιας (or delete the one before σκοτιᾳ).

Are there any examples of a periphrastic present in the NT? I can't think of any.
