Re: Subject of γράφειν in 1 Thess 4:9?

The Critical Text for 1 Thess 4:9 reads: 1 Thess 4:9 wrote: Περὶ δὲ τῆς φιλαδελφίας οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε γράφειν ὑμῖν, αὐτοὶ γὰρ ὑμεῖς θεοδίδακτοί ἐστε εἰς τὸ ἀγαπᾶν ἀλλήλους, Normally the unexpressed subject of an infinitive is that of its controlling finite verb, but that does just not make sense in t...

Re: Rijksbaron and the Greek New Testament

Your concern is that people may feel left in the dust? We're still on the first section, moving on to the second some time in the next week maybe. I assume people can get Rijksbaron in a week or so? These are very short sections. Thanks for the responses to my different points. As to the last, yes,...

Re: Rijksbaron and the Greek New Testament

I've been snowed under by work commitments over the last few days, and I see that the discussion of R has already begun, but I wonder if I might revive this earlier thread for a moment. Last week I was reading C M J Sicking's 'The Distribution of Aorist and Present Tense Stem Forms in Greek...' (Glo...

Re: Best passages to read from Philo

I'm looking to read some of Philo. His Greek is much more difficult than most authors. Are there some passages which are considered 'classic Philo' and relevant to the NT? Hi Louis, What follows may well be already known to you. Just a couple of weeks ago I was asking myself the very question that ...

Re: Gregory of Nazianzius, 3rd Theological Oration

Mike Baber referred first to a quote from Gregory of Nazianzius, 3rd Theological Oration, καὶ τοῦτό ἐστιν ἡμῖν ὁ Πατήρ͵ καὶ ὁ Υἱός͵ καὶ τὸ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα· ὁ μὲν γεννήτωρ καὶ προβολεύς͵ λέγω δὲ ἀπαθῶς καὶ ἀχρόνως καὶ ἀσωμάτως· τῶν δέ͵ τὸ μὲν γέννημα͵ τὸ δὲ πρόβλημα and then to a translation from Schaff...

οὐκέτι οὐ μή in Mark 14:25

Under a different thread, Also, can anyone explain "ουκετι ου μη" in Mark 14:25? I searched in Smyth and online but found nothing. Probably it is because I do not know where to look. The NT text referred to is ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι οὐκέτι οὐ μὴ πίω ἐκ τοῦ γενήματος τῆς ἀμπέλου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ...

Re: Mark 7:10-13 Anacoluthon?

I think you do not understand what I am getting at. If "αφιετε" is not imperative, then as I see it the only way to read the whole thing is as follows: but you say: if [a] man says to the father or the mother: whatever you might have benefited from me is korban (that is, [a] gift) ... you...

Re: Mark 7:10-13 Anacoluthon?

In reference to the verses cited by Jordan, Μωϋσῆς γὰρ εἶπεν· τίμα τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ τὴν μητέρα σου, και· ὁ κακολογῶν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα θανάτῳ τελευτάτῳ. ὑμεῖς δὲ λέγετε· ἐὰν εἴπῃ ἄνθρωπος τῷ πατρὶ ἢ τῇ μητρί· κορβᾶν ὅ ἐστιν δῶρον, ὃ ἐὰν ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὠφεληθῇς, οὐκέτι ἀφίετε αὐτὸν οὐδὲν ποιῆσαι τῷ πατρὶ ἢ ...

Re: Mark 7:10-13 Anacoluthon?

Thank you very much for your informative reply Alex. Perhaps this isn't an anacoluthon per se, but am I wrong that this still doesn't look right? I understand that an apodosis wouldn't necessarily have to agree with the protasis in "person". As you mentioned, it is something we do all the...
