"Against" in 1 Cor 6:18
Dear experts, I have a question on 1 Cor 6:18: φεύγετε τὴν πορνείαν πᾶν ἁμάρτημα ὃ ἐὰν ποιήσῃ ἄνθρωπος ἐκτὸς τοῦ σώματός ἐστιν ὁ δὲ πορνεύων εἰς τὸ ἴδιον σῶμα ἁμαρτάνει I wonder why all translations that I found understand εἰς as "against". Wouldn't it be more natural to understand it as &...

Re: John 1:17: is it hendiadys?
Ah, yes, good old Bullinger. Just be careful in using him. His major flaw is that he often sees literary devices where again it is doubtful that the original author intended them. At any rate, if in heaven John should inform me, "Why, yes, of course I intended a hendiadys there (and thanks for...

Re: John 1:17: is it hendiadys?
FYI.
Just found Figures Of Speech Used in the Bible of E.W.Bullinger (page 663-664) who also understands John 1:17 as hendiadys:

Re: John 1:17: is it hendiadys?
I am not at all sure that ἡ χάρις καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια would register as a hendiadys to an ancient speaker of Greek even if the phrase so translated in the LXX was originally a hendiadys in the Hebrew. I agree with this. I just think that for a Jew like the author of the Gospel of John the Hebrew combinat...

Re: John 1:17: is it hendiadys?
Thanks, that's helpful. Link to the book? Here it is: https://gupea.ub.gu.se/bitstream/2077/29024/1/gupea_2077_29024_1.pdf Now, I'm not going to argue the Hebrew on B-Greek, but I will point out again for emphasis that the Greek needs to be explained on its own without reference to any possible und...

Re: John 1:17: is it hendiadys?
Dimitry, you mention "many scholars" who believe that it is, can you list, oh say, five? I met this opinion in several places, but I am not able to find them now or even recall where I could find them. Some information I did find in HENDIADYS IN THE HEBREW BIBLE of Dr. Rosmari Lillas (Uni...

Re: John 1:17: is it hendiadys?
Examples of "mercy and truth" in a construct relationship. I looked a several in the limited time that I had, and none of them were in a construct relationship, as you seemed to suggest was common with the phrase. If you could cite the ones you had in mind, I'd appreciate it. Do you mean ...

Re: John 1:17: is it hendiadys?
I spot checked a few of these in comparison with the Hebrew, and none of them used a construct, simply a paratactic such as חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת. Do you have any examples where the phrase is used to translate a Hebrew construct relationship? I am not sure I understand. Could you please explain what exa...

Re: John 1:17: is it hendiadys?
Thank you very much Barry for your answer. Still I would like to mention concerning the last statement that though any author wants to be understood, yet often he cannot become somebody other than he is. I mean, it is hard for the author to change his mindset even for the sake of his audience. E.g. ...
