Re: Is the listener less tormented,or the speaker?
Matthew 9:5 "Tι γάρ εστιν εὐκοπώτερον, εἰπεῖν· Ἀφίενταί σου αἱ ἁμαρτίαι, ἢ εἰπεῖν· Ἔγειρε καὶ περιπάτει;" εὐκοπώτερον is made up of ευ and κοπωτερον, which is used to describe 'to torment a person' like cutting a stone, plus the prefix ευ which means 'to torment less'. This verse literall...

Re: pray for the whole armor of all saints
Ephesus 6:18 “διὰ πάσης προσευχῆς καὶ δεήσεως, προσευχόμενοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἐν πνεύματι, καὶ εἰς αὐτὸ ἀγρυπνοῦντες ἐν πάσῃ προσκαρτερήσει καὶ δεήσει περὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων.” the αὐτὸ refers to the whole armor of God mentioned in the previous verses. 'εἰς αὐτὸ ἀγρυπνοῦντες ἐν πάσῃ προσκαρτερήσει καὶ ...

Re: if your brother offends you personally, you must forgive him.
Matthew 18:15, about which the text should be “Ἐὰν δὲ ἁμαρτήσῃ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ὕπαγε ἔλεγξον αὐτὸν μεταξὺ σοῦ καὶ αὐτοῦ μόνου. ἐάν σου ἀκούσῃ, ἐκέρδησας τὸν ἀδελφόν σου.” It shouldn’t be “Ἐὰν δὲ ἁμαρτήσῃ εἰς σὲ ὁ ἀδελφός σου, ὕπαγε ἔλεγξον αὐτὸν μεταξὺ σοῦ καὶ αὐτοῦ μόνου. ἐάν σου ἀκούσῃ, ἐκέρδησας ...

Re: Matthew 10.29
I would also like to ask if "ἄνευ τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν" is standard Greek or possibly an Aramaicism. In this case, could the meaning of the underlying Aramaic aid in translation? If there was an Aramaic original for Matthew, we do not have it. If I read a German text that is translated from En...

Re: Matthew 10.29
My question is about the phrase "ἄνευ τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν" ("without your Father"). The translations are divided between "without your Father's will" and "without your Father's knowledge". I would like to know whether both ideas are possible and, if so, if there ...

Re: How do I go about translating Romans 5:6?
I don't think this sequence has much relevance here, except that these examples show that ἔτι can be the last word in a phrase. I agree. But the query gives us examples to examine and check that. We can do the same thing without specifying the following word, and get examples like these, which indi...

Re: How do I go about translating Romans 5:6?
I had exactly this question back in 2012, and there was a great thread on it: https://www.ibiblio.org/bgreek/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1101 FWIW, "ἔτι κατὰ" is not a common sequence. It seems to occur only once in SBLGNT: https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=%22%E1%BC%94%CF%84...

Re: Sophokles, Sophocles, and the OUP
The OUP series titled Greek Tragedy in New Translations introduces what are, for me, new rules governing the representation of Greek names in English. In the Antigone, for example, we meet characters named Kreon and Polyneikes. Is this a convention that we are now expected to observe in whatever we...
