Re: 2 Corinthians 1:11 - Middle semantics?
People always talk about Hebrews being the most difficult in the NT, but I also always found 2 Corinthians even more challenging You're not alone. seeing χάρισμα as an accusative of respect, εὐχαριστηθῇ as an impersonal usage, and διὰ πολλῶν as a simple prepositional phrase used adverbially, but wi...

Re: Wwho or what is the referent of αὐτῶν in Mk. 9:48
I'd guess this was a common adage with no specific antecedent. The "they" implicit in αὐτῶν would be those who enter γέεννα.

Re: ἔνδοξος and εὐδόκησεν
I’m not sure in what text you’re finding ἔνδοξος in SS 5:16. Both Swete and Rahlfs have ἐπιθυμία, ‘desire’, for מַחְמָד. (As for what the Song has to do with Jesus, that’s a theological issue.) Nor do I see in what psalm ἔνδοξος renders any form of הלל. The only occurrence of ἔνδοξος I can find in P...

Re: ἔνδοξος and εὐδόκησεν
The most obvious difference is that ἔνδοξος is an adjective while εὐδόκησεν is a verb.
The two words are related to each other in that both incorporate the root δοκ-, which has to do with thought, opinion, that sort of thing.

Re: Imperatives and encouragement
Your audio book author is one of those hyper-literalists who latch onto a term like imperative and make foolish observations. The imperative mood simply indicates that the speaker/writer wants the hearer/reader to do something. It can have the nuance of a request, an exhortation, a military-style or...

Re: The Genitive affect upon δικαιοσύνης
I am asking if the genitive in righteousness can be translated as "your righteousness" since it is possessive and Paul is addressing people. No, you can't. The use of a genitive as the object of a preposition does not include any of the senses the case normally carries. It's just the object of δια....
