MH NEOFUTON, hINA MH TUFWQEIS EIS EMPESHi TOU DIABOLOU
TUFWQEIS (TUFOW) indicates becoming foolish or conceited. If you look at Job and Rev 12 you will note that "the Satan" is an accuser as in a prosecuting attorney in a lawsuit. It is therefore referring to being misled by the one who attempts to accuse man before God. The genitive is therefore a subjective genitive>
Hi, George,
On the other hand, Satan is also the archetypal example of someone who is judged, condemned and destroyed.
"The judgment that the devil will have to deal with with." The genitive is therefore an objective genitive.

Hi, Mike,
Yes, in the same way that the election of 1876 lent itself to one party
or the other other. "Another county heard from..."

Subject: [B-Greek] 1 Tim. 3:6
When Paul says that an overseer "mustn't be a new convert, lest he become conceited and fall to the judgment of the devil," is the thought that he might fall under the same judgment as the devil (as in NIV), or that he might be accused by the devil?
Is it possible to say one way or the other?
Does the Greek text lend itself more to one thought or the other?
