Re: What is the difference between ὁ θεὸς and ὁ θεός?

Did my answer help? Yes, thank you. Is the basic idea just reproducing the pronunciation that comes naturally/instinctively to a native speaker, and it only seems needlessly complicated to someone who's trying to learn it from a language like English that doesn't bother with accent marks? Yes. And ...

Re: What is the difference between ὁ θεὸς and ὁ θεός?

John 20:28 says …ὁ θεός μου. 1 John 4:8 says …ὁ θεὸς ἀγάπη ἐστίν. Why is the direction of the accent mark apparently context-dependent? The accent changes based on the sound of the surrounding words - the phonological context. The rules for this are in most grammars, they are kind of complicated. W...

Re: 3 Corinthians, adding accents and punctuation marks

(Quick question/request: do we have like an overline bbcode in use on the board, so I can type out nice looking nomina sacra? :)) Like this? Θ̅Σ̅ You can sort of do it with a Unicode overline character (\u0305). It may not work on everyone's browser. If you have a felt tip, you can draw the lines o...

Re: 3 Corinthians, adding accents and punctuation marks

I personally think εριξ is either a transcription error or spelling error for θριξ. !!! SNIP !!! Καὶ μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας ἐκ τοῦ κατωτάτου ᾅδου ἐπήκουσεν ὁ Θεὸς προσευχομένου Ἰωνᾶ καὶ οὐδὲν αὐτοῦ διεφθάρη οὔτε θρὶξ οὔτε βλέφαρον And after three days and three nights, from out of the d...

Re: 3 Corinthians, adding accents and punctuation marks

I think that might actually be the nomen sacrum ΑΝΩΝ for ἀνθρώπων (as there's a few nomina sacra not filled out in the initial transcription: ανπου (ἀνθρώπου), Χρν (Χριστὸν), Ιην (Ἰησοῦν) etc). Εἴ τις παραβαίνει ταῦτα τὸ πῦρ ἐστι μετ’ αὐτοῦ… οὕτως προοδυπόρ…μαθητῶν ἀνθρώπων. If anyone transgresses ...

Re: 3 Corinthians, adding accents and punctuation marks

Its responses were pretty helpful. The only one left is ἔριξ, which is apparently "hair." I'm just not sure how translators arrive at that translation. I can't find that word in anything of the period or earlier. Here's the sentence: Καὶ μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας καὶ τρεῖς νύκτας ἐκ τοῦ κατωτάτου...

Re: Relative pronouns in Matthew 16:19 and Matthew 18:18

Grammatically, a relative pronoun can refer to people. This comes to mind:
Ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω.
In context, I think it's useful to look at commentaries for a wide range of possible interpretations of these verses.
