Re: τῆς δευτέρας μου παρουσίας

Which dictionary was that? Was it under the word παρουσία? Theological Dictionary of the New Testament. I remember reading the entry on the word παρουσία which refers to Justin Martyr. I have done a 2-line proximity search for deuter[..] + parousia[..] in the offline version of TLG within the range...

Re: τῆς δευτέρας μου παρουσίας

If I remember correctly, Theological Dictionary of the New Testament indicates that it was first Justin Martyr who used the phrase “second coming.” I have an offline version of Thesaurus Linguae Graecae and the program Diogenes for searching it, but after I updated Diogenes to the latest version, it...

Re: Καιροὶ ἐθνῶν at Luke 21:24

I don't know whether it helps, but this is what the Jerusalem Bible says in a footnote to this verse: I.e. the period during which the pagans will take the place of the unfaithful Jewish nation; according to Paul, Rm 11:11-32, this period will end with the conversion of all Israel. An age of indefi...

Καιροὶ ἐθνῶν at Luke 21:24

Lu 21:24: “Καὶ πεσοῦνται στόματι μαχαίρης καὶ αἰχμαλωτισθήσονται εἰς τὰ ἔθνη πάντα, καὶ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἔσται πατουμένη ὑπὸ ἐθνῶν, ἄχρι οὗ πληρωθῶσιν καιροὶ ἐθνῶν.” The phrase καιροὶ ἐθνῶν is used without the article. Does it refer to the world of mankind in general? In such case, does Lu 21:24 mean that...

Re: Form of the Verb ἀποτρέπου at 2 Ti 3:5

and give definitions for a less academically inclined audience? This is what I tried to do by using the label/ definition “continuous present imperative verb” in my study note, since people not familiar with the Greek language do not know that the present imperative verb ἀποτρέπου is continuous. Bu...

Re: Form of the Verb ἀποτρέπου at 2 Ti 3:5

No further label is necessary, and it's not a great idea to just invent your own labels for things. I thought that if a writer wants to emphasize to readers not familiar with the Greek language that a Greek word is in the present tense and implies a continuous action, he can use such a label. (I wa...

Re: Form of the Verb ἀποτρέπου at 2 Ti 3:5

Thank you for the explanations. I can conclude that I can call ἀποτρέπου a "continuous present imperative verb." (I was writing a study note on 2Ti 3:5 in an essay on 2 Timothy chapter 3 and therefore needed to ascertain exactly what term to use when referring to this verb.)

Re: Form of the Verb ἀποτρέπου at 2 Ti 3:5

Did you notice the forum rules above, particularly "This is not a beginner's forum, competence in Greek is assumed?" Yes. Perhaps I should have asked the question on another subforum. yes, it's a present middle imperative. In general the difference between the present aspect and the aoris...

Form of the Verb ἀποτρέπου at 2 Ti 3:5

2 Timothy 3:5: “ἔχοντες μόρφωσιν εὐσεβείας τὴν δὲ δύναμιν αὐτῆς ἠρνημένοι· καὶ τούτους ἀποτρέπου .” Is the imperative verb ἀποτρέπου in the present continuous form of the mediopassive voice (“be turning yourself away from” rather than “turn away from”)? Does the form of the verb emphasize “turning a...
