ESV shows only exclamation points (!). N-A1904 shows only colons (:). Berry's Interlinear GNT and N-A28 show commas (,) and co...

Re: Mark 4:29 παραδῷ allow, or ripen

I agree in part with Carl. The earlier B/03 (c. 325-375 CE) shows ΟΤΑΝΔΕΠΑΡΑΔΟΙΟΚΑΡΠΟΣ (οταν δε παραδοι ο καρπος, or whenever is ripe the crop ). Later, in ℵ/01 (which initially read as B/03), ΠΑΡΑΔΟΙ (παραδοι) was changed to read ΠΑΡΑΔΩ (παραδω). A/02 and later mss appear, IMO, to be based on the r...

Re: Jn 17:5 position of παρὰ σοί

cwconrad asked, "Am I alone in finding the position of παρὰ σοί here strange?" Information available at, inter alia , newadvent.org, indicates you're not alone. In several English translations of patristic allusions related to John 17:5, Irenaeus, Novatian, and Origen put παρὰ σοί in front...

Re: rough breathing on αὐτοὺς Rev. 8:6 ?

Perhaps a comparison of the Greek verb seen at Rev. 8:6 in P115, 01 and 02 might be helpful?

Re: Philippians 1.3-5

[D]oes Philippians mean 'horse lover,' and if so, what's the origin of this name? The gen. sing. masc. noun Philippi at, e.g., Matt. 16:13 KJV was rendered from a compound Greek word: φίλος (philos = friend of, fond of) + ἵππος (hippos = horse). The origin of ἵππος is uncertain. (Cp., e.g., Strong'...

Re: Acts 19: 12 επι τους ασθενουντας επιφερεσθαι

ΑΠΟΦΕΡΕΣΘΑΙ (αποφερεσθαι) appears in some mss (P38 P74 01 02 03 08 33 323 945 1175 1241 1739; cp. N-A²⁸), and EPIΦΕΡΕΣΘΑΙ (επιφερεσθαι) appears in other source documents (05 18 020 044 424 614 1505). Also, αποφερεσθαι appears in the translations of Alford, Lachmann, Tischendorf, and Tregelles at Act...

Hi, Alan. You wrote: Yielding a translation then like, If anyone's work shall be consumed, it/the reward shall be forfeited. Any thoughts? According to some Greek Lexicons, forfeit is an acceptable alternate rendering of ζημιωθησεται . But my English dictionaries indicate that when someone has or wi...

Re: Ephesians 5:5 ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ

I haven't located any other occurrences of του χριστου και θεου in the BMT, TR, or KJV. Vulgate has "in regno Christi et Dei" ( in the kingdom of Christ and God ) also. Earlier, the words for "in the kingdom of Christ and God" were penned by Clement of Alexandria ( The Instructor...
