In some haste, but this is what BDAG has to say, noting this passage in particular:Jean Putmans wrote: ↑December 21st, 2019, 1:28 pm Thanks Barry,
the semantic part of εχθροσ is clear;
εχθρουσ υμων ???
would υμων turn into an Object or into a Subject in the explanation: "The ones that hate you" or "The ones you hate" or are both possible?
Regards
Jean
