Re: Words translated "Therefore"

If anyone's interested, Levinsohn has a similar presentation to the one I mentioned above here: https://www.sil.org/resources/archives/68435.

Re: Words translated "Therefore"

As far as I'm aware, the most direct answer to Michael's question is found in a paper given by Stephen Levinsohn at various venues around a decade ago. It was previously available on his SIL webpage but has since been published and is now offline. There is an abstract here: https://www.sil.org/resou...

Re: a question on subjunctive

It's a 1st sg. pres. act. indicative. See BDAG, which opens its entry as:
τίθημι (Hom.+) and its by-form τιθέω (Hv 1, 1, 3 and 2, 1, 2 as historical present; B-D-F §321; s. Rob. 318)

Yes, I'd just phone or email the librarian. That's how offers of donated libraries used to come in at UST, Matt.

Re: Should πρὸ δὲ τούτων πάντων read "before all these things" or "above all these things"?

Stroke each other all you want, but it won't compel me to follow suit. You are fantastic grammarians but at times lame when it come to interpretation. Get over yourselves for once. You're nothing more than anyone else once you get past the grammar. With respect, you really should pay attention to S...

Re: προσανέθεντο (Gal 2:6)

Cf οὐδέν με ἠδικήσατε (Gal 4:12): in no way wronged me (with οὐδέν as an adverbial accusative) But is this wrong on account of how οὐδέν με are both accusative and so go together? (I suppose one would say that the verb, ἠδικήσατε, has two accusative compliments). I'm sorry if I've missed your point...

Re: προσανέθεντο (Gal 2:6)

Apart from surrounding context in Galatians, is there anything in these Greek phrases alone, as quoted above to indicate that this translation of Gal 2:6 is wrong? Or, is the prevailing interpretation based entirely on an interpretation of surrounding context? It's not completely an issue of the su...

Re: Sim on the genitive absolute

Perhaps you would be better off reading carefully with comprehension all the material on GA/NPC. Statements that involve negation either implicitly or explicitly can function as semantically equivalent to "never" without using the word. My memory may be defective but you will find places ...
