Re: "γυναῖκας" in 1 Cor 7:29

just grammatically seen, you are probably right: εχοντες + Acc.Sg.: Acts 2:47 εχοντες χαριν; 1 Pet. 2:12 ε. καλην ; 3:16 ε. αγαθην; 1 Thess 4:13 ε. ελπιδα; 2 Tim 3:15 ε. μορφωσιν; Hebr 12:1 ε. περικειμενον νεφος; Marc 8:14 ενα μονον εχοντες αρτον εχων + Acc.pl.: Marc 10:22 εχων κτηματα πολλα; Lk 3:1...

Re: "γυναῖκας" in 1 Cor 7:29

I think the meaning here is “each having one woman” = “the married men”, compare acts 28:9: οι εχοντες αστενειας : the ones, having diseases, doesn’t necessarily mean each having multiple diseases, or all have the same diseases, but “simply” each having some disease. So also in Rev 8:6 and 15:6 each...

Re: Article usage in heaven and on earth (Matt 6:10, 28:18)

A small addition on Mark: The INTF-Coll-Mark has 1513 Ms-Lines with επι της γης and just 3 3 with επι γης (2:10 ms 2372, 4:1 ms 983, 14:35 ms 1326) . The combination ουρανος and επι (της) γης in one verse is rare (none in the NA28-Edition; only in 13:31 both words are found in one verse): Mk04-26: m...

Re: Article usage in heaven and on earth (Matt 6:10, 28:18)

I am not a grammar-expert, nevertheless for the (missing) article in Greek I would refer to ANCIENT GREEK GRAMMAR for the Study of the New Testament, Heinrich von Siebenthal, 2019, Par. 133: “Definiteness without the article (↑BR §149.2–5; BDF §252–259; Z §171–183) I. Certain types of phrases lackin...

Re: Is ἀρσενοκοίτης Biblical dialect for ἀρρενοκοίτης?

Please read instead of: “we will find more -ρρ-forms than -ρς-forms in LXX/NT.” > we will find more -ρς-forms than -ρρ-forms in LXX/NT..

Re: Is ἀρσενοκοίτης Biblical dialect for ἀρρενοκοίτης?

-ρρ- for-ρς- “ Later Attic has ρρ for ρς for older Attic: θαρρος courage = θαρσος, αρρην male = αρσην … b.Ionic and most other dialcts have ρς. ρς in Attic tragedy and Thucydides is probably an Ionism. Xenophon has ρς and ρρ.» (Smyth, Par. 79: https://archive.org/details/rosettaproject_grc_morsyn-1/...

Re: Matthew 10.30

Well, I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion, that ms-witnesses show the equivalence of simple and periphrastic forms, but at least that shows, that some scribes didn’t make a distinction between the two. The Cambridge Grammar of Classical Greek § 52.51 states “the combined phrase is roughly equivalent t...

Re: Matthew 10.30

Smyth lists in his Grammar the uses of periphrastic Perfect/PluPerfect: www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0007%3Apart%3D2%3Achapter%3D19%3Asection%3D51 I think, there is no difference in meaning between the simple and periphrastic forms. In Mt 10:30 some mss have the sim...

Re: τι εμοι/ημιν και συ

Thanks for the answers, and for the explanation.

In all cases, the expression is followed by a Vocative. Could attraction (Smyth § 926) be an aspect? Could the scribe be tempted, to adapt the case from Dative (fitting to the expression) to the Nominative, fitting to the Vocative.
